This Hospital Took The Fears Of Children And Turned Them Into Something Awesome. This Is GREAT.

-
Going to the hospital can be an intimidating and frightening event, even for adults. So, when children need to go to the hospital, it’s even more stressful on the entire family. That’s why the New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital decided to come up with a way to help kids relax while they’re getting procedures. It’s so cute.

They needed to replace their current machine.

Children aren’t the only ones afraid of the doctor. I know quite a few people who would prefer to use the pirate CT scan instead of having to go into a dull, white room to get their testing done. Somehow, fun colors and a happy atmosphere can make things seem so much easier.
Especially the adorable tiger pirate.

Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’.

"I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most.
