How is Role Playing Implemented in Pediatric Settings?
There are various ways to incorporate role playing in pediatrics:
- [Medical Play](): Using dolls, toys, and medical instruments, children can act out medical procedures. This can demystify the process and reduce fear associated with visits to the doctor. - [Social Role Play](): Children can role-play different social scenarios, such as making friends, dealing with bullying, or navigating family dynamics. - [Therapeutic Role Play](): Psychologists and therapists use role playing to help children express their feelings and work through trauma or anxiety.
