MassGeneral Hospital for Children is committed to making your child as comfortable as possible during his or her time with us. Going to the hospital for a visit or an overnight stay can be frightening for a child and it’s natural to feel anxious and even fearful. This is healthy. MassGeneral Hospital for Children has many resources to help you talk to your child about his or her concerns and fears.
In this section, you’ll find information about 
what it’s like to come to the hospital, preparing for an operation, how to help your child cope with pain, and more.
