Beth, a few things. Was your son afraid he might get a shot when he heard he was going to the doctor? And if so, what did you tell him.

Secondly, I have heard that some mothers do not mind how much pain their kids feel getting shots because they know the shots help them. But you describe seeing your son in pain as being "cute."?

Am I getting the wrong idea that something is wrong with your how you felt seeing your son get 2 painful injections? Does anyone else have similar feelings as you do seeing their kid laying on their stomach getting injections?

Im not trying to be judgmental but it strikes me kind of odd to describe that as cute?

Thanks...Tim

I wasn't there so I can't say one way or the other what this poster actually saw/experienced with her child receiving the injections.

I've had my experiences with shots, and I can't remember my parents having anything but concern for me when I had to receive injections, whether it was in my arm(s) or buttock(s), at home, the doctor's or in the hospital though believe me, I think my parents came away with a much greater appreciation of what shots can do physically and psychologically to a child and for them (psychologically); as I had to undergo the Pasteur treatment (aka "rabies shots") at age 9. This was a regimen of very painful abdominal injections administered with long needles and a very thick serum. 21 days of a needle in my belly every day. I think my parents came away with a far better understanding of how such a treatment can influence them and their children.

And I am not criticizing the post by Beth. As I said, I wasn't there.
