    Question Healthcare and child patients

    Hello, I work in healthcare and occasionally we get some only Spanish speaking child patients (between the ages of 3-9) and I can converse with them for the most part, and get mine and the doctor's point across, however I would like to learn to say a few behavior management and encouragement phrases and would love any help from the translators. I have tried online translations via Google, etc... even I know that their version makes no sense, ! Thank you for your time!!

    1. You are doing so well!
    2. You are such a great patient!
    3. Almost done!
    4. It takes longer for us to finish if you keep kicking and screaming!

    Now this is a toughie, and saying this one in English works everytime that's why I desperatley need the spanish version:

    5. " The less you move and around and fight and/or resist us, the faster you'll be able to go home!"

    Again, I would appreciate any help and translation with these, and I thank you for your time! Have a great day!

    1. You are doing so well! / Lo estás haciendo muy bien. or Te estás portando muy bien
    2. You are such a great patient! (Eres muy buen paciente)
    3. Almost done! (casi terminamos)
    4. It takes longer for us to finish if you keep kicking and screaming! (si continúas pateando y gritando nos demoramos más ) or (nos demoramos más si no te mantienes tranquilo)

    The less you move and around and fight and/or resist us, the faster you'll be able to go home!"
    Mientras menos te muevas y te resistas, más rápido podrás irte a casa.

    Hope it helps!

    I suggest "¡Tardaremos más si pateas y gritas!".
    It's more direct, the translation is "We'll take longer if you kick and scream!"
