Apt. Took the kids for vaccinations this morning and was telling kiddo last night about how amazing vaccines are and how polio doesn’t exist anymore because of it. Sounds like I was technically wrong, but practically right.
I also told him how amazing it is that when I was his age, I had the chickenpox, but that he will never get it because they developed a vaccine for it.
None of this helped him today with not freaking out over getting a shot, but hey, I tried and I made it clear why I had to hold him down. Sometimes, irrational fears win. We’ll get there, he’s just a kid.
