DD 5yo has been in and out of hospital lately and faces a few more visits and possibly an operation. She is quite worried about injections and the pain of removing sticky plasters (which may sound like small things but for her they create a lot of worry and stress). We try to explain everything that will happen and why, and we do not lie to her but nonetheless the process is difficult and there is more to come.
Ideally I would love for her to be able to talk to a professional but I haven't found anyone where we live (rural France and DD finds it easier to speak English than French). Failing that, what can I do to help her cope with the psychological aspects of hospital visits, exams and treatments? Are there any books or other resources, either for her directly or for me to read on how to help her?
