Bandaides and Blackboards helps people understand what it's like, from the perspective of the children and teens to grow up with a medical problem.
,These kids have become experts at coping with problems that most have never heard of. They'd like you to know how they do it. The content is divided into three parts; one for kids, one for teens, and one for adults. The adult section offers especially good information for parents coping with a child's hospital stay.

PLAY Tip
Sensory Integration Ideas
Kinesthetic awareness is an important part of healthy sensory integration. Challenge your child to use the sense of touch only and identify different objects with the What Is It? Tactile Discrimination Game. Try dividing the objects by theme. Good examples are: objects from nature, dishes and cutlery, or grooming aids. To make the game easier, try offering fewer choices and supply a picture of the objects under the cover. Can your child tell the toothbrush from the hairbrush?
