*2010 Laurel R. Talabere, PhD, RN, AE-C*The mystical heart of a child is a precious and beautiful thing. It is marred only by wounds of a thoughtless and not too intelligent world. In a physical sense, the heart is a tough organ a marvelous mechanism that mostly, without repairs, will give valiant service for up to 100 years. In an emotional sense, it is susceptible to wounds of indifference, thoughtlessness, and neglect. During episodes of illness, it is especially vulnerable.Author Unknown
