Mom, I’m Scared of the White Monster!

“White Monster? Well, that’s just the doctor (or the nurse) checking you up, dear.”

Young children are usually scared of the doctors, more so if they are wearing their white uniforms. This goes the same with nurses, who “stick ’em up with pointy things”. My 5 year old used to be one scared boy and whenever the “white monster” approaches, he’ll scream and cry at the top of his lungs. Little tots are being subjected to trauma, without the parents noticing it.

Well, even if it’s just a regular check up, we need the doctors, right? So, how can we ease the little ones’ fear of those white uniforms?
