[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 400044"] You do have to go with what works best for your own kid. With mine, she didn't want to know ahead of time when her blood draw would be, because she would spend all that time fretting over it, working herself up, and keeping her anxiety level at a constant near-meltdown high. She wanted me to tell her after we were in the car and about to go. She knew she had to have it and why, and she was very resistant to it, so I didn't hide that from her, it was *when* it would take place that she didn't want to know or think about it, which was more of where I was trying to go with that. But she made the choice that she didn't want a lot of advance notice on that one. Some kids do better with a ton of advance notice, and others don't. Still trying to work out the best timing for my kid. [/QUOTE]
