For Kids
T
his resource is seriously an incredible find for cancer kids and siblings ages 3-12. It is a radio that kids can use by themselves and has so much to offer. Music, audiobooks, podcasts, language learning, trivia, are just some of the features! You can easily pack this in a hospital bag for your child for something super entertaining besides watching television. Kids are even welcomed to participate by sharing their own jokes and getting birthday shout outs. It’s super neat for them to hear their own voice or name on the radio! In fact, all of the kids will enjoy this. Stream sweet stories before bed to help them wind down and chase fears away before sleeping. Or turn on the music radio when it’s time to wake up for school to reduce fussing and rolling over.
Cancer can cause a lot of worry with kids and so fun things like this can really brighten their day and be used anytime. We got one early on during my toddlers cancer treatment and his brothers have listened to it everyday since. They say it helps them feel comfortable when they are afraid at night. I can also see it being so helpful in the hospital setting as something super cool that a kid can have control of all by themselves.
