💡 For Grown-Ups

Fill out Part 1 together before the visit — knowledge reduces fear more than reassurance does.
Let your child bring this sheet to the appointment and ask their questions directly to the doctor.
If your child asks something you don't know, say so: "That's a great question. Let's ask the doctor together."
After the visit, celebrate the specific brave things they did — concrete praise builds resilience.
