Abstract
Touch, through massage, is essential in the development of infant and young children. As children grow, their minds and bodies do as well. Touch can provide a child a feeling of self worth and help them cope with the stress their bodies endure. The purpose of this paper is to capture the ideas that have been researched and taught, by implementing a massage technique policy. Massage has been proven to be effective in helping children with special needs such as ADHD and asthma. Massage has and will benefit children through a detailed and outlined program. Nurses and parents alike can perform the program, once implemented. The goal of the proposed program is to instill the importance of touch through massage. It can give a parent a way to express comfort without introducing any sort of medication for stress causing problems in their children.
