Using positive terms and avoiding words that have frightening connotations assist the child in coping. Preschool-age children should be told about procedures immediately before they are done. Time to prepare only allows time for fantasies and increased anxiety. Children should not be shamed into cooperation. Bandages are important to preschool-aged children. Children in this age group believe that their insides can leak out and that bandages stop this from happening.
