AB  - A  good  aphorism  is:  never  examine  the  child  until  you  have  made  the  parent  laugh.Establish  rapport  in  the  waiting  area  with  children—show  interest,  use  considerable  eye  contact  and  make  favourable  comments.Ask  them  what  they  like  to  be  called.Have  special  stickers  to  put  on  the  backs  of  their  hands,  T-shirts,  etc.Take  time  to  converse  and/or  play  with  them.Have  interesting  toys  for  them  to  handle  while  listening  to  their  parents.Compliment  the  child  on,  for  example,  a  clothing  item  or  a  toy  or  book  they  are  carrying.Ask  them  about  their  teacher  or  friends.Try  to  examine  them  on  their  parent’s  lap.
