AnonyMouse_15046 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 A five-year old child in my care will shortly be going into hospital for ear surgery. I'v had a look on Amazon for books which might help to introduce the subject, particularly the idea of going to sleep while they do it but I couldn't see one which clearly fitted the bill. Has anyone found a book which is particularly good?
AnonyMouse_18655 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Cant think of any of the top of my head but I am doing an inclusion course at the mo and there are soe books on this subject there so I will get back to you on Monday when I have noted the titles etc.
AnonyMouse_15046 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Thank you Vicky. That's very kind of you.
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 What about contacting the hospital play specialist on the children's ward - maybe they could suggest something
AnonyMouse_15046 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks Panders. I did that and they said they would post a leaflets but couldn't suggest any books.
AnonyMouse_73 Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Tony Ross ' I don't want to go to hospital' only one that leaps into my head just now
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Is there an Usborne rep in your area Upsy Daisy? They do a 'first experiences' range of books and I'm pretty sure one of them must be about going to hospital. Not sure how appropriate they'll be for a big grown up five year old though! Maz
AnonyMouse_18655 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 sorry Upsy Daisy, I haven;t been able to attend the training or get the book info cos my daughter had tummy ache this morning, although has made a remarkable recovery now !- maybe your local PLA have similar resources
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 We have The Book People in at the moment - there is an Oxford Reading Tree young readers set. One of which is about going into hospital. Might be worth a look at their website, Upsy Daisy? Maz
AnonyMouse_15046 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Thank you Maz. Will have a look at their website. I'll have to be quick - the op's next Wednesday!
