Tricks of the Trade

DD hates going to the doctor. She doesn't like the uncertainty and the idea that she might be getting a shot, as with most kids. One of the tricks that I've taught her is to look at the characters or pictures on the nurse's medical uniform and focus on that. It's a trick I learned when I was little that always worked for me. I'm hoping that in a year or two the visits will be a much more positive thing and she'll enjoy seeing how she grows.
