The Child Psych Podcast

Helping Kids Overcome a Fear of Needles and Health Procedures with Dr. Jody Thomas, Episode #95

35 min • 28 augusti 2024

In this episode, Dr Jody Thomas explores how parents can create good health care experiences for their kids from the very start by empowering children with solid coping skills to help them manage the pain and distress of early pain experiences.

From vaccinations to the usual bumps and bruises to the 25% of kids who experience chronic pain, the research demonstrates that those early experiences have a massive impact on their health outcomes into adulthood. In this podcast, we look specifically at helping children through a fear of needles. Dr. Jody Thomas is the CEO and founder of the Meg Foundation.
