Interacting with the child in an age-appropriate manner is essential for the first visit. For children under the age of six, who have a more abstract way of thinking, the support of parents is crucial during the initial examination. For children over six, who think more concretely, the "show-tell-do" technique tends to yield better results.
It is important to avoid performing any procedures during the first visit if possible and to provide information in a way that the child can understand without causing stress. The first appointment is primarily an introduction and an opportunity to inform parents.
