Children needle fear
Very interesting topic! I work in a medical centre and always see children with needle phobias attending the practice. One thing I have learnt through observation/the nurses telling stories is that most needle phobias from kids comes from the parent being overly worried - the fear must come from somewhere! It would be interesting to see how parents who are not scared of needles pass this fear down to their children. At our centre we offer these families the choice to call when they are in the carpark and the nurse will get them when she is ready, I personally find this making the situation more serious/dramatic/scary so I wonder if there is any research behind this too. --GeorgiaFairweather (discuss • contribs) 11:28, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
