Dear Parents:
It's that time of year again. Flu shots. Your little ones need it as do you. Maybe you've already made that appointment and you're trying to prepare your little one for that big needle. Let me give you some pointers. Please, please, please do NOT tell your little one that it won't hurt, because it will. But fortunately, the pain goes away. And please, please, please don't freak out when they cry because they WILL cry. Please, please, please do NOT call the nurse "mean" or "the bad guy." We are there to take care of your child and truly care about their health and safety. And please, please, please don't promise them Sponge Bob or Princess stickers or Dora Band-aids because we may have run out! And please, please, please set a good example for your child and get your flu shot too!
Forever Grateful,
Nurse Jan
