What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The primary sensitive topic is fear and anxiety, specifically related to medical procedures (dentistry). The approach is direct but highly metaphorical, using "sugar bugs" and a friendly monster world to soften the experience. The resolution is entirely hopeful and positive. It is a secular approach.
