Medical play is a therapeutic activity often used in child psychology to help children understand and cope with medical procedures. It involves using toys, dolls, or role-playing scenarios to simulate medical situations, allowing children to express their feelings and fears about healthcare experiences. This type of play can help reduce anxiety and improve communication between children and healthcare providers. Through medical play, children can familiarize themselves with medical tools and environments, such as stethoscopes, syringes, and hospital settings. This process can empower them, making future medical visits less intimidating and more manageable. It also encourages children to ask questions and engage in discussions about their health.
