Playful Mind Activities

This resource will help your child stay still and quiet during medical procedures by engaging their minds in fun, playful activities.
It offers a variety of simple, enjoyable activities like the ABC game, word association, and rhyming challenges that can be done quietly in their mind to encourage focus and stillness, or aloud with someone else to help pass the time and foster a sense of connection.
The goal is to help your child feel more comfortable and relaxed during their visit while also developing their ability to stay still and calm. These activities create a positive, distraction-filled experience that reduces anxiety and fosters a sense of control and calm.
