This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether fun riddles and health-themed games can help young children feel less scared and anxious before and after circumcision surgery. Researchers will compare three groups: children who receive standard care only, children who play with regular riddle games, and children who play with health-focused riddles designed to teach them about what will happen. The study will measure each child's fear, anxiety, and pain levels before and after surgery.
Circumcision can be frightening for young children, and high anxiety can make the experience harder on both the child and the medical team. This trial is exploring whether preparing children with fun, educational activities might help calm their fears and reduce pain during the procedure.

If you join this study, you will be placed into one of three groups. One group receives only routine care. The other two groups will watch a fun video animation and play games with either regular riddles or health-focused riddles before your circumcision. Before and after your surgery, doctors and nurses will ask you questions and use simple picture scales to measure how scared, anxious, and uncomfortable you feel.
