Findings.The essential meaning of supporting children during NRMP is characterized by a desire to meet the child in his/her own world, and an effort to reach the child's horizon of understanding regarding these actions, based on given conditions. This requires sensitivity towards the child's health status and towards the current living situation, including existential issues. Meeting the child's needs here has the character of “balancing on a tightrope” through an unpredictable situation. Part of the unpredictability is related to the time aspect, which can either assist or obstruct the implementation of the NRMP. The meeting should also incorporate an openness to the child perspective. Most importantly, it will require a repertoire of supportive activities in which parental presence and conversation are the cornerstone. The essential meaning shows that parental presence plays a central role in the child's feeling of security. However, parental participation must be guided by an awareness of the child's needs and of the parent's ability to provide security. Parents can be seen as an extension of the child in order to facilitate access to the world. Through conversation, which must be conducted with tact, the child will be involved in what is going to happen. This will not only provide security, but also generate interest. Specifically, it is about “interpreting what the child expresses” and using one's instincts to choose the right words in the dialogue with the child. The conversation is thus adapted to the child's state of mind, experience, and age. The conversation is combined with play, which can be of a wide variety of different types and can fulfill different functions. This play is most importantly a tool for approaching the child's understanding and world of experience. Through play the child is given an active role and control of the situation, which distracts and de-dramatizes the current NRMP.
