What can a child do when the dentist's chair, noises, smells, and machines all seem scary?
Hildy does not want to go to the dentist, and she becomes angry when Mama says she must go. Mimi tells Hildy that Mama was once afraid of the dentist too and shares the story of Mama sitting safely on Mimi's lap while her teeth were cleaned. When Hildy faces her own appointment, she pictures Mama as a little girl sitting on Mimi's lap, feels calmer, and goes to the dentist to have her teeth cleaned.
Mimi's Strategy:
"The next time you go to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned, I want you to STOP and picture your Mama as a little girl sitting on Mimi's lap in the big chair."
What children will learn:
• Recognize that fear can become smaller when the unknown becomes more familiar.
• Use a trusted family memory to approach an uncomfortable experience.
• Understand the purpose of a routine dental cleaning.
• Practice moving forward even when something feels frightening.
Perfect for:
• Homeschool and public-school families preparing children for dental appointments.
• Homeschool and public-school educators discussing health routines and courage.
• Parents whose children resist routine dental visits.
• Grandparents who can share reassuring family stories about childhood fears.

Mimi's Strategy
series, an expanding collection of illustrated books by Linda Goudsmit that turn everyday childhood problems into opportunities to stop, think, and choose a successful strategy to solve each problem. Designed for ages 3-8, the series gives families and educators a warm, repeatable way to talk about responsibility, independence, competence, self-control, critical thinking, and family life.
"Learning to think strategically rather than react emotionally is a valuable skill that will empower any child throughout his or her life. Plus, I have yet to meet the child who would prefer a reprimand to a kiss." - Linda Goudsmit
