[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I got a glucose test kit years ago so that kids could see the pin, watch me load it, then push the button for me. They helped hold the strip to my finger so that the blood went into the strip, then they practiced writing down the number. Eventually? They each tried it themselves. Why? Because kids believe adults who model things as daily occurrences that aren’t a big deal. I take kids with me when i get blood draws and vaccines, and they’re fascinated by watching. It doesn’t make them ask for needles… but it does make it easier when they need them.[/quote]
