What approach did Klinzing and Klinzing (1977) use to prepare children for hospital experiences?

Klinzing and Klinzing (1977) emphasized the importance of directly engaging with children in their familiar home environments to prepare them for hospital experiences. By visiting homes and discussing what children might encounter in a hospital, they aimed to alleviate fears and anxieties associated with medical settings. This approach allows children to ask questions and express their feelings in a comfortable and safe space, facilitating better understanding and coping strategies.

The other choices involve methods that either do not engage the children directly in a hands-on manner or limit the personalization that can be achieved through direct visits. Conducting seminars for parents may provide valuable information, but it does not address children's individual concerns directly. Implementing art therapy sessions, while beneficial for emotional expression, does not focus specifically on preparing for hospital experiences. Providing online resources about hospitals can be useful but lacks the personal interaction that can significantly impact a child's emotional readiness.
