During the process of growing up, children may inevitably experience headaches, heatwaves, colds, and fever. If the condition is relatively severe, injections are needed for treatment. Getting injections for children is a headache for every parent, as children are often afraid of the pain of injections and cry. So, how can we encourage children who are afraid of getting injections?
1. Before giving a child an injection, parents should visually explain the feeling of the injection to the child. Let the child know that getting an injection is not very painful, although it may be a little painful, but be a strong child who can tolerate a small amount of pain. This way, the child will also be mentally prepared. Remember not to deceive your child into knowing that they need an injection after arriving at the hospital, as this can cause them to cry uncontrollably.
2. Tell the child the purpose of the injection. Only in this way can children have a positive understanding of injections. Children need to know that they must receive injections before their illnesses can heal, they can only eat what they want, and they can only go out and play with their children. If the body is not healthy, these things cannot be done, which will make the child develop a positive attitude towards injections.
3. Give your child sufficient encouragement before the injection, and promise to reward them if they perform well during the injection process and do not cry or make noise. Not only should language encouragement and praise be given, but also some desired rewards should be given to children, so that they have a sense of satisfaction and pride, and can actively cooperate and not refuse the next injection.
