Visiting the doctor can instantly become a nightmare for you.

The child, despite his young age, understands what, or who, he is going for, and even before you enter the doctor's room he expresses his frustration in tears.

Unfortunately, quite a few children get sick in the first years of life and visits to the doctor are quite common, so how can you make a child like the doctor, or at least not be so afraid of him and stay as calm as possible?

Is your child shy?

This is how you will build his self-confidence

In collaboration with JAMA

Prepare the child in advance


Any preparation reduces anxiety in preparation for a visit to the doctor.

The preparation creates order and calm and there are children for whom this termination will lower the level of stress.



Play with a doctor's kit


Buy a doctor's game kit at home and simulate the process with him with the help of a doll or even yourself or the child if he agrees.

For example, measure fever, wear a wound or examine your ears.

When the doctor's turn is approaching, you can say to the child: "What fun, go to the doctor. He will check his ears and throat, just like we did at home."

Also, look for books about children visiting a doctor and read them to the child.

It does not have to be a nightmare.

Start your visit to the playroom at the clinic


Most of the time, you will find a play station at the pediatric clinics.

Mediate the child in the morning so that before the doctor he can play, and then when it is his turn - go to the doctor.

There is something in this gradual that can reduce, albeit slightly, the fear.



Make room for fear


Do not tell the child "Do not be afraid".

He is in a storm of emotions and such "sedative" attempts only intensify the anxiety.

A hug will strengthen the child and give him a sense of back and parental presence.

With the hug they said, "I am with you as much as you need."



Give him peace and quiet


if you are tense - your child will be tense.

Combine understanding and embracing with assertiveness and if you feel it's big on you, it's okay to send your child to the doctor with a dad or grandma.



The Jama app was established with the aim of addressing mothers of babies from birth to age three, and centralizing for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.

All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to its developmental stages, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.



The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
