Pain, Pain, Go Away: Helping Children With Pain (not a U.S. government website). This booklet was written to teach parents about pain in children and to help them to ask for better care. Parents are important because they are experts on their child's pain. Children are sometimes too young, too sick or too afraid to say how much pain they have. At these times, parents are the best judges. Parents know more about comforting their own children than anyone else. Parents can teach children to relax or to distract themselves. Parents' advocacy has resulted in major improvements in pain management.
