Default Re: What works for you....?

I had been taught to be a cheerleader then one day in Year 1 my mentor was ill and I worked with the Ward Sister, her approach was like yours, it was such a lovely calm atmosphere in the room, the lights were dimmed and the woman birthed her baby with quietly spoken words of encouragment and praise. I remember thinking how few words were actually needed compared to the cheerleading that I had been taught.... that has stayed with me especially after learning about how oxytocin works etc
