Advice On How To Prepare Your Child For Surgery
Whether you are an adult or a child, it is not debatable that you may not fancy being butchered up with surgical instruments you have never even known existed. It is unthinkable to a child to even have to go through a process of surgery let alone knowing why he has to do it.
What if you really have to do surgery? In that case, you have no choice but to prepare the child. You have to follow a certain game plan and do it in a manner that will get him ready to face his fate.
Since this experience is going to be a totally new one, he can be forgiven for any uncertainty. Surround him with familiar objects and people.
Think about that favorite stuffed animal that they are fond of playing with. Just get them something that will ease the tension.
The kind of information that you feed the child right then will determine the reception of the situation. The manner with which you carry out that talk will also greatly influence the reception.
There is certain apparatus that will be used. Tell the child about these and tell him to expect being touched by the medical staff in charge, all in an appropriate manner.
Stick to honesty as much as possible. Make the child understand the reality and after all, do it in a manner that is not irrelevant to his age. You can only do this by using circumstances they are well aware of so that they understand.
You have to prepare for life after the surgery. You need to assure the child of your support afterwards. You will need to be there even by the time the whole procedure is complete. It is not cruising downhill for any child. However, your presence and support can make a very big difference.
