This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different distraction methods to help young children feel less scared and anxious when they receive inhalation therapy (breathing treatment through a mask) for the first time. Researchers will compare whether a specially designed 3D interactive book or a hand puppet works better at keeping children calm during the procedure. Both methods are non-medication approaches designed to help children cope with a procedure that can feel frightening.
Many children experience intense fear and anxiety when wearing a face mask for breathing treatment, and this distress can make the procedure harder for everyone involved. Researchers want to find simple, safe ways to distract and calm children during medical procedures so they have a better experience.

If your child is selected, you and your parent will meet with the researcher before the breathing treatment begins. Your child will fill out a short questionnaire and scales about how scared or worried they feel (this takes about 5-10 minutes). Then, during the actual treatment, your child will either look at a specially designed interactive 3D book or play with a hand puppet to help them stay calm. After the treatment is done, your child will fill out the same feelings questionnaires again so the researchers can see if the distraction method helped.
