Doctor's advice:

• “Listen to your child and respond to their signals — children often describe very accurately what bothers them. Ensure a safe environment at home: keep chemical products, sharp objects, and small items out of children’s reach. Support your child during medical examinations, tests, diagnostic procedures, or treatments: explain everything in simple words and never use the doctor as a way to scare the child. This helps build a trusting and calm attitude toward healthcare and self-care.”
