TLC Distraction™ Box
A calmer medical moment
Purposeful distraction in practice
A TLC Distraction™ Box gives healthcare professionals practical choices to help a young child focus somewhere else.
The moment
A little play can make a medical moment feel much less frightening.
Colour, movement and sound
Tools selected for the child
Support for families and healthcare teams
A medical procedure can feel unfamiliar and frightening to a young child. The TLC Distraction™ Box gives healthcare professionals a collection of purpose-designed resources that can be selected quickly for the child and situation in front of them.
Movement, colour, sound and play can redirect attention, encourage cooperation and help the medical moment feel more manageable for the child, family and healthcare team.
The best tool is not always the loudest or most complicated. It is the one that catches that child’s interest at exactly the right time.
