Summary
This study tested two fun, non-drug methods to reduce anxiety in children (ages 5-12) and their parents before elective surgery. One method used bubble breathing play, and the other used a tell-show-do approach with play dough and kaleidoscopes. Researchers measured anxiety levels before and after the play sessions to see if these simple distractions helped everyone feel calmer.
