Getting an IV is not always an option, but Child Life Specialists give children choices where choices cannot always be made. Allowing children to have a sense of autonomy is essential to building trust, safety, and comfort during painful medical procedures. Save this post for your child's next appointment!

What options would you choose?

After a break, kids subconsciously ask:
-“Are you still my safe place?”
-“Are the rules the same?”
-Can I fall apart here again?”

This is connection seeking, not control seeking. So, have patience and offer gentle words to our little ones going through big changes.

How do you support your child during transitions?

When it comes to behaviors like hitting, how we respond matters. You can hold firm boundaries and lead with gentleness. The Sandwich Method helps us correct behavior without dismissing emotions, because your child is not “bad,” they are learning. Every time you guide them through big feelings and teach new coping strategies, you are building skills that last. 🤍

Even good days require a lot of emotional regulation — Which is why big days often lead to big feelings later. When kids hold it together all day, home may become the safe place to go. You are not alone — and your child is not broken. They are learning. 💛

🏆 No trophies.
🥇 No medals.
🍪 No cookies.

Sometimes it feels like no one notices.

The meals you make and lunches you pack, the homework you help with, the endless rides, the tiny humans you keep alive and (mostly) happy…the mental load that never stops, the emotional juggling that everyone expects you to handle.

The quiet moments of patience when you’ve already run out. The invisible victories that never get applause. The constant effort that often feels unseen.

But we promise, it's seen. And, it's felt.

Somebody notices. Somebody feels the care you give every single day. Somebody sees all the small, invisible ways you make life work.

💛 Tag or share with someone who’s doing all of this — surviving, loving, holding it together without a prize. Remind her: We see you. You matter. You are enough.

Doctor visits don’t have to be stressful. 💛
Through medical play and preparation, children learn what to expect, build coping skills, and feel more comfortable advocating for themselves because they know what to expect. One pretend checkup at a time! 🩺🧸
