There is power in medical play and healthcare professionals agree. 🩺🧸 Medical play with our enCourage Kids Teddy offers many benefits for hospitalized children including: Emotional Expression: Children may use medical play to express their emotions, fears, or concerns related to medical experiences. This can help them process and understand their feelings in a safe and controlled environment. Coping Skills: Through medical play, children can develop coping skills and strategies to deal with medical situations. This can empower them to feel more in control and less anxious when facing real medical procedures. Empowerment: Children may feel a sense of empowerment as they take on the role of the caregiver or healthcare provider during medical play. This can boost their confidence and sense of control. Positive Associations: Creating positive associations with medical play can lead to more positive experiences during actual medical situations. This can be particularly important for children with chronic illnesses or ongoing medical needs. #encouragekids #childlife #childlifespecialist #childrenshealth #helpchildren #medicalplay #playtherapy #playtherapist
