Information

The Essential Baby/Essential Kids website (operated by Fairfax Media) provides information and advice for parents on a wide range of topics.

The site is putting together a feature on taking children to visit the family GP and is seeking tales and anecdotes from doctors about the worst/strangest behaviour from a small child in a GP’s surgery.

The idea of the anecdotes is to inject an element of humour into the feature and reassure parents that it is not just their child that may behave ‘badly’.

The story aims to offer suggestions and advice on techniques that parents can use to smooth the way to get their little one used to going to see the doctor.

If you have a story (or two) to tell and would like to contribute, Rebecca Martin, the journalist writing the piece, is happy receive it via email at becmartin30@hotmail, or you can call her on 0422 660 182.
