Heading to the doctor soon? 🩺 Playing pretend is a great way to ease your child’s fears and help them feel more comfortable! Set up a mini doctor’s office at home using toy medical tools like our New Sprouts® Cure It! set. Practice checking their ‘heartbeat,’ looking in their ears, or giving a ‘shot’ to a stuffed animal. This not only builds their understanding of what to expect but also gives them a sense of control and confidence. Plus, pretend play helps develop social-emotional skills, language, and creativity. So next time a check-up is on the calendar, make it a fun, learning experience first! #learningresources #parentingtips #pretendplay #learningthroughplay #lrshare
