Let's face it, kids hurt and get hurt, a lot. "My tummy hurts." "My head hurts." Any parent of young children is all too familiar with these complaints. What is the best way to address this and how do we know when it might be something more? Because a diagnosis can be made in most situations by a history taking alone, knowing the right questions to ask is crucial. 

In this episode we talk about how to address common pain complaints using 'I have a tummy ache" as an example.  Listen along as we make suggestions on how to approach the child in pain.  What questions should you ask. We talk about the importance of teaching kids to 'listen' to their body and develop vocabulary to describe the various sensations they feel. We touch on common benign issues that cause belly pain. We give you some language to help you and your child talk to your doctor about it if you are concerned.
