Distraction Techniques

I found these really cool videos on how to distract a child during procedures. This video is for medical professionals but if you click through, there are 2 other parts of this series and one focuses on how parents can help distract their kids. For those of you who are curious about the things that child life specialists do, this is a great video that shows how child life specialists help support patients before and during procedures.  Also at the end of this video, there is a clip showing how a child life specialist would assess the best way to help support a child during a procedure.
