Each group having a different number of items (4 or 6), quotients are calculated and then added together to obtain a total score ranging from 0 to 100 (Appendix 2: Anxiety score of Yale Mulhouse and Colmar).; The children will be filmed at 3 times of their care on the day of the intervention.; The reading of these videos will be done afterwards by two nurses from the Department of Pain Support Unit (CHU Bordeaux, neuroscience center), independent of the services concerned by the study, trained on a scale by the investigator, in order to establish anxiety scores.
