Incorporating Play Into Pediatric Care

And i recently attended a workshop on using play therapy techniques in pediatric nursing, and it was eye-opening. It emphasized how creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere helps kids feel more comfortable during procedures. Has anyone else tried integrating play into their practice? I’d love to hear how it’s worked for your young patients and families.
