partnering with your child’s care team
Doctors, nurses, social workers, and therapists are valuable members of your child’s care team. But time with them can sometimes be short and chaotic.
Our resources help give parents the confidence and tools needed to make care team interactions less stressful and more productive.
your child’s care team
Your child may have a full care team of doctors and experts to help them manage their health. Our Healthcare Heroes is a simple tool to help you keep everyone’s name, contact info, and “when to call” in one place.
It’s also a great sheet to leave for a grandparent or babysitter so they know exactly who to call in any situation.
choosing a provider
Expertise, location, and cost are huge factors when choosing a doctor or therapist for your child. But sometimes, you have more than one option to choose from.
Our Care Team Compatibility Check can help you determine which provider will meet you where you are and feel like a partner to you and your child.
making the most of appointments
Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment and realized you forgot to ask one of your most important questions?
My Appointment Advocate is a simple tool to help you prioritize questions, capture visit notes, and make sure you’re crystal clear on next steps when you go home.
can waiting rooms be fun?
Doctor’s appointments and hospital visits can be long and sometimes scary for kids. Our Waiting Room Explorer activity sheet is a fun way for you and your child to pass the time together.
If they are with you, it’s also a great way to help brothers and sisters feel included!
advocating with confidence
As a key member of your child’s care team, you need to be comfortable asking doctors for clarity; pushing back when advice doesn’t match your reality at home; and asking for more time when you feel rushed.
Our Parent Advocate’s Playbook gives you simple talking points to help you advocate for your child with confidence.
