Hi lovely people hoping for some advice Before half term one of our children was diagnosed with a life long illness. He is the youngest recorded case and the hospital don't have any 'child friendly' medicine he can have and he finds it really hard to take it. He's only just turned 5. We are working really closely with the parents and have a care plan in place, but mum is really worried about him not taking his medicine. He is also bordering on the spectrum so when the nurses used the analogy that the medicine was like an army going into his body to fight the nasty disease he took it literally and is scared to take his medicine because little men are going to start fighting inside him! Before the half term I made a social story about taking medicine, and we are going to have a nurse come in the first week back to talk about how she helps people at hospital. We are going to have a 'toy hospital' (going totally off the school topic, don't tell my head ) so we can show the hospital in a positive light, and one of the teachers who is asthmatic is going to come and talk to us about how she has to take her inhaler everyday. I wondered if anyone is/has been in a similar situation? We don't want to make it too obvious and make too much of a big deal of it but would really appreciate some advice as to how other people would handle this? Thank you
