So helpful

My daughter has had numerous medical procedures and appointments throughout her life. Due to this, she had developed anxiety regarding appointments. She recently was scheduled for another surgery, this app was so helpful in helping her feel more prepared for what to expect. She was so nervous before finding the app, but after going through the videos and photos of the hospital, she was more prepared and actually no longer nervous!

Great app

This app was so helpful for me and especially my daughter before her operation, we went through the app a few days before and she had a child friendly breakdown of everything that will happen on the operation day, which made her feel very prepared when we arrived at the hospital, she was well aware of what would be happening so didn’t feel scared or anxious. Would 100% recommend this app!

Very helpful before my Son’s procedure.

When we got a date for our Son”s operation we were all pretty anxious as we didn’t know what to expect. Little Journey allowed us all to have a look around the hospital we are going to and it explained everything that is going to happen in a very clear and child friendly way. Our Son loves playing the games and we are much less worried about his op. Unsure how to share the quizzes with hospital staff though.

So good!

My daughter recently had to have surgery and the app was so good at preparing her so when we got to the hospital, she wasn’t scared, she had some understanding of what was going to happen and was not anxious at all!

Little Journey Review

Last Thursday I had to take my son into hospital for a Tonsillectomy operation, and both my son and I were a little worried and unsure about what was going to happen and how we were going to cope.

That’s when we started little journey, and it’s been absolutely fantastic for both my son and myself. We have loved playing the games together, watching the calming water, and of course taking the tour of the hospital and all the rooms he was going to be using on the day. We particularly loved how you could choose animals or people to guide you through your journey, and we chose the animals which really helped us to feel calm and took away all the worries and anxious feelings. My son was so much more relaxed and it made such a difference to him to see how easy it was to self regulate home self after he would get to scared etc.

By far the best app I’ve ever used, and we are still using it today 1 week after his op. So I’d definitely would recommend it to any parent having to go through the same thing or similar with your child, no matter the age.

Thank you so much Little Journey🩵
