Make the accompanying child busy while attending to your patient

Recently while attending a young contact lens patient whose child was not sitting at one place, I asked the kid about his interest in drawing and handed him a writing pad and a pen to draw something. I could then concentrate on the patient while the child was busy in the creative work illustrated here!
