Help Your Child Understand the Medical Treatment

  • Before medical appointments, you need to explain to the child or youth the medical procedures, treatments or medicines he or she may receive.
  • Explain at the child’s level and give the child a chance to ask questions about the proposed treatment and talk about any concerns.
  • Encourage the child or youth to share his or her view about any treatment, tests, assessments or medicine being considered.
