What Is PlayWell

Benefits of PlayWell

 

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a Child Life Specialist as a member of a child's health care team. Through medical play and preparation, children are less fearful and more cooperative, reducing pain intensity and the length of a visit. Children develop coping skills and a positive attitude towards medical care. Having the opportunity to "play out" their feelings, children are able to process the event and have an outlet for emotional expression and mastering newly learned skills.
