Movie Time

If the disease is complicated, for example, if your child has chickenpox itching or a sore throat, rent a videotape and entertain him. For your child, you need to choose a movie that is appropriate for his age. Cartoons and children's films with bright pictures and cheerful music will help distract the little patient from unpleasant symptoms.

You can delight older children by showing them your favorite old movie that no one else in the family wants to watch. Classic films of yesteryear are often not interesting to modern children, but a sick child will enjoy hearing stories from their parents' childhood and watching old films together. Spending time together like this will help distract you and while away your recovery time.
