Before the test, understand that your child probably will cry and that preparation may not change the fact that this is going to feel some discomfort or pain. You can try demonstrating what will happen during the test in advance to know the fears and concerns of your child. Using a doll or other object to represent the procedure may help reveal worries that the child may not want to discuss directly.

Preschool Toys for Your Toddler
Choosing toys for smaller children is such a pleasure. They are not yet influenced by toys they see advertised on television so they tend to really enjoy whatever you buy them. Parents can give their toddlers a toy that allows their toddlers to explore new ideas, learn new skills and learn all while having fun.
Choose toys for your toddlers that provide endless play. In a world of video games that have a set ending, like rescuing the princess, we tend to forget that our children have imaginations that need to be developed. A set of building blocks that interconnect can be used to build a castle or a spaceship, then pulled apart and used to build something else tomorrow. Crayons or play-dough can be used to tell stories or help younger children make up stories. Imagine what skills your child could develop when the stories are not written out for them.
Remember when a few pots and pans could amuse a child for hours? That’s because they were “simple” toys that let children play exactly how they wanted to. Toddlers love toys that are fun. Not every toy needs batteries, flashing lights or endless sounds to be fun. Toys that require your toddler to build, pull apart, or put together spark your child’s imagination and help him or her develop problem-solving skills.
