Avoid FEAR response by teaching pain help requesting
Wise Parenting: ready them for surgery and healing.
It is not healthcare providers' job to teach the child-patient pain care words. The schools don't teach pain care vocabulary either.
It is the parent's job. The parent teaches how to deal with healthcare; how to get help for their pain. MPA tools to get their needs across: Clear pictures, easy ASL signs, and words.
Kids should not have to talk “doctor speak.”
Empower Kids For Pain
This one of a kind book was created by three Moms for people who need pain communication help but are: too young, too memory challenged, overwhelmed by being asked to rate their pain on a 10 level scale, or confused by emojis. Commonly used pain scales require remembering a previous pain experience and comparing it. Those scales were validated on children without separating non-readers from readers. Our scale is simpler and faster to use for everyone, especially a child patient receiving surgery.

Families using My Pain Alert(TM) Scale have saved time and effort getting the child patient or older limited communicator’s pain under control. Little children were able to use learned communication help words with their parents, so the best action could be done immediately. Older children came out of surgery requesting the exact pain management they needed, resulting in a shorter than previous hospital stay.
