Preparing Children for Doctor Visits Replay

Visiting the doctor can be an anxious time for children. Whether you are headed to the pediatrician for a well-child check, or your child is ill, there are things you can do to help ease your child’s anxiety.

Listen in with Certified Instructors Pam Oatis, MD and Jaclyn Long, MFT and learn how to help your child both prepare for doctor visits and process the feelings that can often surface afterward. (hint: these feelings can show as the off-track behaviors that drive us crazy as parents!)

You can read more on Pam’s experience in scaling Hand in Hand’s approach to parenting in training to nurses, early intervention specialists, and other medical service providers in Ohio here. You can see more on Dr. Pam Oatis and her practice by viewing her Vital’s profile.
