Positive images have a tremendous impact on pain when children are in a relaxed state.
Focusing on personal imageries can distract kids from discomfort and
allow them to let go of the tension in their head. It also gives kids a
way to explore and express the hidden feelings that cause stress.
Although tools of the imagination can be used on immediate pain, they
work well between bouts of distress, as part of an overall prevention
program.
