[quote=Anonymous]I have one kid who's a perfect patient - even seeing specialists and going through awful stuff - and another kid who's a hot defiant scary mess for any kind of exam. In a situation like that, as a parent, sometimes hearing a professional say something nice reminds me to level-set (just like sometimes when my more difficult kid is annoying the crap out of me, I'll say 'I love you' and... saying it out loud helps to re-set my mood and remind me that... oh yeah, I do!) So maybe next time, say something like 'well, I think we still have more work to do on being a good patient" that's little gentler than 'no' but still acknowledges that... he can do better. Not fun stuff - sorry.[/quote]
