What Are Some Trust-Building Techniques for Young Children?
Trust-building techniques for young children include:
1. Play Therapy: Using toys and games can make the child feel more comfortable and less intimidated by the clinical environment.
2. Positive Reinforcement: Praising the child for their bravery and cooperation can encourage positive interactions and compliance with medical advice.
3. Modeling Behavior: Pediatricians can demonstrate procedures on a toy or a parent to show the child what to expect, reducing fear of the unknown.
