Komt een Kind bij de Dokter

Komt een Kind bij de Dokter is a Dutch educational brand that helps parents prepare for their children’s visits to youth health services, general practitioners, hospitals and dentists. Founded on the experience of a medical pedagogical care professional, the brand focuses on making healthcare more child-friendly by helping families reduce children’s fear, tension and pain during medical procedures. Its practical guidance encourages parents to work together with healthcare professionals: clinicians understand the procedure, while parents know their child.

The brand offers an online basic course in child-friendly care, with advice for supporting children before, during and after medical procedures. A dedicated course on child-friendly vaccination helps parents prepare children of different ages and make vaccination visits calmer. For families needing more individual support, one-to-one consultations provide tailored guidance, including for children with previous difficult healthcare experiences, ongoing anxiety or chronic conditions. The online offering also includes professional e-learning, gift vouchers, an e-book and free information sheets, such as guidance on helpful language and tools for managing procedural discomfort.
