“…There are features of an assistive device which are important to the child's view of himself or herself and about which the child can make decisions without compromising essential functional and operational aspects. Yet children are generally excluded from making decisions about issues which concern them, because they are presumed to be less competent than the adults who make the decisions for them (Taylor & Adelman, 1986;Erlen, 1987).…”

“…It is argued that children who participate in the decision making process will show increased commitment and responsibility towards the decision, will possess greater understanding of the issues related to the decision, and will achieve better follow-through with the decision (Brehm & Brehm,1981;Adelman, Kaser-Boyd & Taylor, 1984;Coster and Jaffe, 1991). Several authors suggest that the participation of children in opinion sharing and decision making is essential for developing the ability to make good decisions (Jensen & Kingston, 1986;Taylor & Adelman, 1986;Baron, Granato, Spranca & Teubal, 1993).…”

“…One strategy to ensure success in decision making is to ensure that all the choices are acceptable. The child must perceive that he or she is in control and that the choice is his or hers (Taylor & Adelman, 1986;Adelman et al, 1990).…”

“…To provide children with decision making experience we can begin with aspects of their daily lives that directly affect them, and in which only a few acceptable choices are given (Jensen & Kingston, 1986;Taylor & Adelman, 1986). For example, the child can choose which clothes they wish to wear and the toys with which they prefer to play from among the few items set out for them by adults.…”

“…For example, the child can choose which clothes they wish to wear and the toys with which they prefer to play from among the few items set out for them by adults. Concrete examples of options, such as articles of clothing, enable children to evaluate the available information about the options (Taylor & Adelman, 1986). 'Strengthening the child's perceptions of choice and control in order to help foster motivation for participating in a decision making process is important' (Taylor & Adelman, 1986, p.348).…”

Healthcare providers assume that there are minimal risks and potential psychosocial benefits for children who undergo a bone marrow harvest for the benefit of their critically ill siblings. Ethical justifications for the use of children as donors rely on there being minimal risks since donors receive no direct medical benefits from the intervention. There is little empirical research regarding psychosocial consequences. This article reviews relevant research in three contexts: a) psychosocial outcomes for adults and children who donate tissue and organs; b) psychosocial impacts on a sibling of a pediatric cancer patient; and c) children's decision‐making regarding medical decisions. The relevant research literature supports the belief that the psychosocial impact on a child bone marrow donor will be influenced by the survival of the recipient, the age of the donor, and the donor's participation in the decision to donate. In order to empirically validate the actual psychosocial risks (and benefits) for donors, it is argued that direct research is needed so that a donor's well‐being can be protected.

Whether to include children in the family mediation process is a junction of many variables. This article explores the issue in terms of the rationale for and the methods and implications of including children in mediation. Taking a cross‐cultural perspective, the author investigates how cultural beliefs and attitudes about children serve as important substrata for how one regards the inclusion of children in the mediation process.
