Doll Therapy With Our Generation

I have mentioned before about my daughter's doll, Bailey, being a wonderful therapy tool for her. This isn't just for her "conditions," but also for everyday life and for things that come along, like sickness, new experiences, and so much more.

With my MIL going through chemo, I've been doing a lot with Bailey to help Snapper understand and not be scared. She even had an infusion Tuesday after her Nina's chemo. I think it helped Snapper understand more, seeing what Nina is going through.

My cousin's daughter also recently had to stay overnight in the hospital with her doll and it helped. I also have a nephew arriving in June (Yay!). Another thing is that Snapper is going to have to be tested for diabetes along with other things to see what is going on with her poor little jittery body.

So, as you can imagine, I have been thinking a lot about ways to help children who are going to have to be in the hospital, have a family member going through a sickness, or that are going through a sickness themselves. My advice- girl or boy, get them a doll best friend. It will help- even if they need someone to talk to- their doll will always listen.

Here is Bailey with her port:

I will be sharing products, ideas, and DIYS to help children get through these tough situations. I'm starting with Our Generation!

Going My Way Doll Carrier


This carrier can ensure that your child has a safe place to keep their doll. It has backpack straps, a carry handle, and plentyof storage for what that doll just has to have. It has a strap to keep the doll secure and even a window so your little girl can see her pretty face!

Polka Dot Sleepover Set


Is your daughter or son nervous about the next day, having to stay in the hospital, Are you having to go out of town to visit sick family or to get treatments? This sleepover set will make it fun for your child and what is more fun that a sleepover? Overnight bag, sleeping bag, pillow, curiling iron, straightening iron, phone/ earphones, toothbrush, toothpaste, 2 slices of pizza, 2 dishes

Sick At Home Accessory Set


This doesn't need much explanation, but I also think that this may be something just to have on hand for all kids- for those sick days. Toy tissue box, bed tray, tea and honey, soup, a hot water bottle, thermometer, blanket, activity book and a pencil.

Well Traveled Luggage Set


This is a beatiful set that would be perfect for traveling, or staying in a hospital (even a hot meal!). This has everything that a doll needs to be comfortable away from home. If a family member has to travel for treatments, your little girl can be packing her doll as well! Suitcase, travel pillow, luggage tag, camera, toiletry case, toothbrush, toiletries, pen, activity book, travel documents, snacks, hot meal, and more. 

I hope this gives you ideas on how to help your child(ren) through a hard time.
