I When my kids were young (toddlers thru age 11 years old) I would carry some
sharpened colored pencils or crayons with me when we went to the doctor's office.
Then, during the long waiting time in the examination room, we would draw pictures
and color them on the white paper they pull out over the exam table.
Sometimes we'd also play tic-tac-toe or connecting dots or any other imaginative
game drawing on that giant paper on the exam table to pass the time. This always
seemed to please the doctor and he'd say, " Can I keep this?", which would make my
kids happy and a little less tense about the doctor check-up. Sometimes the doctor
would even spend a few minutes drawing on the paper with my kids too!
