Do you need the perfect tool for preparing a 2-6 year old child for medical procedures, such as going to CT, X-ray or getting IV etc?

Our educational materials are guaranteed to be…

• Honest to the best of our ability
• A technical and sensory information needed for the child to  prepare for an upcoming procedure
• Entertaining and creative
• A tool for parents to talk to their child about the procedure
• A support for parents, with tips on how to help their child during the procedure.

Research has determined that the child’s understanding of a procedure and what it is going to feel, taste , and look like are important factors in decreasing pre-procedural anxiety. 

An accurate explanation of medical procedures will still decrease the negative after effects. Unexpected stress is held to be more disturbing than a child will anticipate.

“Children need an accurate, reassuring explanation of procedures, presented in a manner appropriate to their level of understanding. Deprived of such explanations they are left to formulate their own weaving fantasies and misguided observations into frightening inaccuracies.
All children who are cognitively capable of understanding simple explanations of events and procedures should receive preparation.”
