Shots hurt little ones! Anyone who says they don't has not been around little ones much, and/or has forgotten what it is to be a little one. There are several things doctors and nurses can do to stop, or at least cut down on the pain. A few are doing these things, but many are not. It is up to parents and guardians to push for change. As often as possible I provide links to the manufacturer's web site. The wisest thing to do, if your child's doctor and/or nurse does not use any of these, is to print them out and go armed with them when you take your child. Better yet, drop off the info ahead of time. Some of these methods have been around for years and have not been used. Come on folks! It is time to realize children's pain and terror are real. It's the 21st century! No excuses! It is time to end unnecessary pain! This is made more crucial by the fact medical science is coming up with more and more vaccines each day that schools are requiring for attendance. By the time a child is two he or she is supposed to have had over 32 shots, and many more come after the child is two. This doesn't even bring up blood tests and antibiotic shots. Plus if your child is a diabetic, that may mean shots every day.
