João Vitor is 6 years old and his mom Edvania gives him his dosis of factor once a week. He started prophylaxis 3 years ago and everything is fine. This doesn’t mean that Yoshi his dinossaur won’t get it like him!! LOL Little boys love to role play and imagine situation where they feel active and helping others…
fazendo de conta or playing “as if”….Yoshi is taking his shot of Factor too 🙂
João Vitor faz profilaxia uma vez por semana …sua mãe Edvania aplica sem problemas…ao contrário Joao também segue os passos da mãe e aplica também para Yoshi su dinossaura querido !:) Fazer de conta ajuda a criança a lidar com diversas situações diferentes, ele se sente ativo e num tipo de controle produtivo ao seu desenvolvimento. Que bom que se consiga viver assim, cuidando de si e brincando.
