[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if your eight year old is "refusing" to comply with something you have asked him to do, you need serious parenting help. My youngest hates strep tests. He would rather get an IV. He tried to negotiate that when he was ten and had strep. In the end, when the doctor said "open your mouth" he did it. He wasn't happy. But he knows better than to disobey. OP, my kids are grown except for one high schooloer left at home. You are in for some difficult years if you can't make an eight year old obey. [/quote] We had this same problem with my 8 year old DS. We couldn't get him to open his mouth. We went home without the test and without antibiotics. DS is now 18 and has given us very little trouble in the teen years.[/quote]
