Professional Development

Have you ever had a child become so distressed you’ve had to stop a procedure or worse, hold them down just to get it done? Do you see anxious children walk through your door everyday where you then spend a chunk of your time trying to calm and reassure them before you can even commence your job? Or maybe you see anxious children who have had a negative experience before and as a result won’t let you come near them.

When a child is distressed it is stressful for you too. Maybe you’ve wished a procedure had gone better and found yourself emotional or shaking afterwards because you know it was an unpleasant experience for everyone. Maybe you lie awake at night wondering how that could have gone better or what you could have done differently? Or maybe you’re worrying about when that child comes in next month because you know how hard it is going to be!

At Creative Coping we can show you ways to calm a distressed child, set things up so they go smoothly and help children to cope with confidence. We can give you the tools to remain calm and turn a stressful situation on its head resulting in a positive experience for you, the child and their family.

Let your clinic be the go to clinic within your area - create a reputation where parents will travel just to have their child be seen by you. Let us help you develop that reputation by teaching you the skills and knowledge to help every child or procedure go as smoothly as possible so that children and parents feel calm, confident and reassured when they visit.
