Dr. Ashlee Reid, our Director of Early Childhood and Maternal Mental Health, is on a mission to help kids feel calmer and more confident at the doctor’s office—one playful step at a time! 🧸💕
She’s created special pediatric care kits filled with toys, games, and a fun “Teddy Bear Hospital” set, which is an internationally recognized way to help children build confidence and reduce anxiety through pretend play during their visits. Each kit is designed to turn a doctor’s visit into a more positive, engaging experience, and to offer parents simple ways to support their children.
(Psst… want to help us spread the care? Let us know your child’s pediatrician, and we’ll see if we can drop off a kit there next!)
