Is your child afraid of needles? How you can calm them before their Covid shots
This is also a time when it’s OK to take out the phone and put on a child’s favorite video or audio book, Alvord said.“The message is, ‘I know it’s hard, but you’re going to be brave,’” she said.The ideal time to take your child for a vaccination is when they are at their most upbeat — that is, when they are unlikely to be tired or hungry — and when you have time afterward to do something fun, Alvord said. Get an ice cream cone to celebrate their bravery, she suggested.
To prepare Ginny, Harris has been talking to her about the importance of Covid vaccines: how getting one will not only keep her protected, but will keep others safe, too, and how it will hopefully enable the family to go on a trip to Disney World in the spring. Ginny has vowed to “be a brave girl to stop the virus,” Harris, a writer and high school English teacher, said.
“It probably won’t go great when it happens, because she’ll still be scared,” he said. “But she’s going to know that she’s doing the right thing, and that means a lot to her.” In the end, all children who overcome their fear of needles to get their Covid vaccinations will gain skills that will help them beyond just getting a shot at a doctor’s visit, Alvord said.
“Being resilient is not having no stress in your life,” she said. “It’s dealing with all the challenges that come your way. And if we can start with the little challenges, then we build on it.”
