AB  - Child life specialists (CLS) are trained providers who form part of a pediatric multidisciplinary and pediatric palliative care team. Their role is invaluable to mitigate the stress and anxiety of children during hospitalization. They may use various strategies in children like play, art and music therapy and pet therapy, to help self-express and cope with painful procedures.

We present a brief narrative on CLS with a case of a 10- year- old Hispanic boy who had metastatic osteosarcoma.

The case illustration is from a prior institute that one of the coauthors was associated with.
