About This Resource
Meg Foundation’s very first blog post had a blunt title: Kids Hurt More Than They Have to and That Is Dumb. Host Annie J, MS, CCLS, CAHP borrowed it for this episode, because Code C.L.I.O. tends to agree.
Our CEO/medical psychologist/pain expert joins host/child life specialist Annie to talk about what pediatric pain management actually requires, where it overlaps with the work of a Certified Child Life Specialist, and why treating that role as optional costs kids more than most people realize.
She also tells the origin story — including the friend who lovingly refused to let her leave the idea on a shelf.
Who Is This For
Child life specialists, healthcare providers, and parents who want to understand what good pediatric pain care looks like — and the role we all have in delivering it.

A Note About Keeping This Free
Good pain care should be a right, not a privilege.
We’ve spent our careers treating pain and medical anxiety, and we know that comfort and control come from putting the power where it belongs: in your hands. Everything here is free and open source by design. No parent should have to pay to learn how to get their child through a vaccine or a bad headache. No provider should have to hunt for what they need to do their job well. Hundreds of thousands of people have used Meg tools, and not one of them has ever been asked to pay.
But free still costs something.
We rely on the generosity of people like you to keep it that way. It takes about 1 in 30 of us, each giving $15 a month, to keep these tools available for free. If they helped you and you’re able, $15 a month keeps these resources available the next time you or another family need them.
Thanks for being here. Whether you are able to give or not, I’m so grateful a kid somewhere has you in their corner.
— Dr. Jody, Founder and CEO
