Taking Care of Precious Ones: Improving a Child's Experience in the Medical Environment. Carrie Neckien Ma Cc

The medical environment can be a confusing and stressful place for adults. Just imagine how it feels to be a child in this foreign place. This book will teach you to help your children through threatening situations at the doctor?s office, emergency room, or hospital as well as how to cope with any stressful or anxiety-evoking situation. Carrie Neckien?s job as a Certified Child Life Specialist is to help children cope with the medical environment. She prepares and teaches children in a way that is appropriate for their age and stage of development. This involves helping them cope with the experience so they leave the medical center without stress or trauma caused by fear, pain, or misconception about medical events. You will learn simple methods to explain medical procedures to your children while avoiding threatening words. Your children will feel supported rather than helpless, trust and love instead of fear. They?ll feel like the precious ones they are.
