Movie Reviews of Sesame Street - Elmo Visits the DoctorMovie Review: If your child is scared of the doctor, this DVD really helps!! Summary: 5 Stars
I started to dread doctor visits when our then-1-year-old daughter became terrified of going to the doctor after she had to endure some invasive medical procedures starting at 8 months old. She would start crying when being weighed and basically continue through the entire visit! Poor thing, she was so scared! And nothing we did seemed to help. Ironically, her father is a doctor so we'd visit him all the time in his office and she'd see the examine rooms, and everything associated with the doctor (the instruments, white coats, etc.) but when it came time for her check-up, she caught on quickly that this was not fun-time-with-Dada and start howling. We tried lots of things- playing with her Dad's doctor instrument, getting play instruments to examine me & the dog, etc. Nothing worked!
Then I came across this video due to an Amazon recommendation when our daughter was almost 2 years old (I wish I would have found it at 18 months! I really think it would have worked at that age). She was taken with the video and asked to watch it frequently. We watched it for 1 month off-and-on before going to her 2 year check-up today. IT WAS AMAZING!! She didn't cry at all and was excited for the whole process. She understood we were going to the doctor and seemed actually excited! We brought a stuffed Elmo (and of course her favorite blankie) and the whole thing was a breeze. She examined Elmo and our very patient doctor also examined Elmo and was then more than happy to be examined herself. My husband and I were amazed. She was OK with everything- the vitals process & her examination! She said "thank you" and blew a kiss to her doctor. I almost passed out with relief!
She had to get two shots and she understandably still cried at that point. But, she got stickers afterwards (Elmo does also in the video) so she perked up much faster than she did in the past.
This video really worked for us!! I highly recommend it. It is post-appointment now as I write this and it's nice not to be emotionally exhausted and it was so amazing to she our daughter not scared and actually interacting with the exam! Hope this helps!
