When I was younger, my mom and I would sing "Hakuna Matata" (Lion King) while my blood was drawn. Even now, I find it easier to put in my earphones and turn up the music on my ipod.<br /><br />So:<br />Listening to music/singing and yummy treats are great helpers to get over the fear.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Ryann Kitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964005300847237795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581409446794777299.post-38025180717981355212011-03-31T11:17:57.392-04:002011-03-31T11:17:57.392-04:00FYI, readers...

My daught...Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jelly Belly's! <br /><br />My daughter screamed if we even mentioned going to the doc - she instantly thought needle (she had no immunizations when she came to us so lots of pokes at every doc visit until she was 4) - We let her choose her Jelly Belly's and took them to the doc with us. She had her magical Belly's and munched them through the pokes. I know little Maggie has way more pokes but it's worth a try! :)<br /><br />Lots of prayers are headed your way! xxoodanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850204410920772035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581409446794777299.post-35758097923422839712011-03-30T21:56:24.028-04:002011-03-30T21:56:24.028-04:00I feel for her.

I'm scared of needles too. I usually hold someone's hand and look at their face until the needle stuff is done. I know when we were kids our doctor had lolly pops, stickers, etc...<br /><br />~RondaRonda Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305993401369357129noreply@blogger.com
