Katie Taylor, Certified Child Life Specialist, shares strategies for talking to children about medical procedures in ways that reduce anxiety and build trust.
• Children pick up on our non-verbal cues during difficult times and may imagine scenarios worse than reality
• Research shows children who receive preparation before medical procedures exhibit less anxiety and recover faster
• Using concrete, age-appropriate language helps children understand medical situations (like ”sleepy medicine” for anesthesia)
• Different approaches work for different ages – 4-year-olds need sequence-based explanations while 10-year-olds benefit from more involvement
• Children process difficult news in their own ways and on their own timeline
• Parents don't need perfect words – the message of love and togetherness matters most
• Multiple small conversations often work better than one overwhelming discussion
• Start by asking about previous medical experiences to gauge understanding and misconceptions
