With a child-centered approach, we transform medically complex subjects into relatable and enjoyable stories where young readers take center stage. Our books aspire to empower children to navigate their health with confidence and curiosity.
Gain knowledge about your child’s medical procedure or condition to confidently guide and advocate for them.
When children see themselves as part of a story, their engagement and comprehension soar, making personalized storytelling an effective tool for learning.
Our stories aim to reduce fear of the unknown, empowering children with knowledge. When children feel informed and prepared, it can have a positive impact on their medical journey.
Reading provides a great opportunity to interact and talk about emotions, fostering essential skills like self-awareness, empathy, resilience, and coping mechanisms.
Proper preparation helps children develop accurate expectations, fostering trust and confidence in healthcare and between caregivers and children.
Ensuring that everyone sees themselves reflected in the stories they read is a priority for us. We are committed to enhancing our offerings to reflect societal diversity.
Dartmouth Health offers guidance on preparation timelines, suggesting one day for toddlers (1 to 3 years), three days for pre-schoolers (3 to 5 years), and a week for school-aged children (5 to 12 years) before a procedure. They advise against starting too early to avoid increasing anxiety. However, at PrepMeKids, we believe that caregivers know their children best. They can discern when preparation would benefit their child most, taking into account their unique personalities and needs.
