Gesture & etiquette
Smile and make eye contact when delivering positive news. If speaking at a doorway, step slightly inside the threshold — distance signals indifference.
Lead family updates with positive observations before mentioning challenges. This builds trust and reassures families who often feel helpless. Avoid clinical language; keep it human and warm.
