Help your child know what to expect before going to the pediatrician. Purchase a toy doctor kit and a white lab coat for a pretend checkup so he knows what to anticipate. Demonstrate how a doctor might examine his mouth, listen to his heartbeat, or take his blood pressure. Or use a scale to show how his weight might be measured. You can also read children's books that share and illustrate visits to the doctor, such asThe Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor, Say "Ahhh!": Dora Goes to the Doctor, andWhat to Expect When You Go to the Doctor by Heidi Murkoff.
