MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- At Children's Wisconsin, kids helped their new friends feel better with...a teddy bear clinic?
To help young patients like themselves, each child choose and stuffed their own stuffed animals.
The plushies became patients and kids had to bring them through the clinic to find out how to make them feel better.
Kids learning about getting vaccinations, x-rays, ultrasounds and more.
Staff say letting kids have this bit of control can make the hospital a little less scary.
"They cope better, they feel less stressed, they have fun and then they're able to go back upstairs and cooperate and do things in a better way," said Child Life Specialist Leslie Scott. "Because, they understand what's happening and that we're on the same team."
A way to make kids more comfortable in an otherwise stressful space like a hospital - that's one good thing.
