[QUOTE="donna723, post: 313138, member: 1883"] Kat, I know exactly what you mean about the bribes! When my daughter was little she was at the ear doctor practically every week and she hated every minute of it but she did very well and cooperated. She did that because if she did well at the doctors, we went straight to a favorite restaurant and had blueberry pancakes! Sneeky and underhanded but it worked! And I NEVER lied to my kids about whether something would hurt or not. If it's something like a blood draw, you tell them that it will hurt a little bit but nothing they can't handle. I will never forget when my son was just an infant and had to have ear surgery (yeah, he had it too!). He had to go in a few days before his surgery to have lab work done, including a blood draw! He pitched such a fit they ended up having to wrap him up in a blanket to subdue him enough to keep him still - then they asked [U]me[/U] if I would hold him while they did it! NO WAY!!! I had to live with that kid and didn't want him thinking I was a part of it ... which he probably did anyway! [/QUOTE]
