[quote=Anonymous]Your kid is scared and needs your help. My son is 9 and high anxiety. Our nurse took 30++ minutes to talk him through his last vaccination. I was frazzled and she was chill. I know better than to offer a “reward” to prompt the behavior I’d prefer to see him exhibit during something like this—no way would it happen and it adds exponentially to his stress and anxiety. No matter how things go, we do something fun together afterward. Each Dr visit gets easier and easier. Our Dr says he sees it all the time and tells me the best thing is to just be as calm as possible — don’t bribe or cajole, just be supportive but matter of fact “we are here now and doing this; no it’s not fun, but here we are...”[/quote]
