Medical Play Techniques

Medical play techniques are therapeutic tools used to help children become comfortable with medical procedures through age-appropriate activities. They often involve role-playing, toys, or pretend scenarios that mimic doctor visits, injections, or treatments. This approach allows children to express fears, understand what will happen, and gain a sense of control, reducing anxiety and stress. Medical play is guided by a trained professional who ensures the activities are safe and appropriate, helping children feel empowered and more cooperative during actual medical experiences.
