About this time last year my son was in the hospital having a video EEG that lasted 7 days. His head was wrapped up tight with wires and gauze. He was not quite 5 and needed to be still.
Boy + 5 = NOT STILL! He luckily found Domo at 7-11 dressed up in a pumpkin for the Fall, so off to the hospital Domo went with us. Whatever lil guy had done, so did Domo: blood pressure, pulse ox, head wrap and of course STICKERS! My lil guy had his buddy going through just what he was and it gave him an opportunity to help Domo be brave.
Our children can be resilient when given the tools and the opportunity to be successful. Does it happen EVERY time? NOWAY! There's going to be tears, screaming and getting frustrated ...not to mention what the kids will do! We shouldn't stop trying. We should always set an environment for our child to build on the next time they have a challenge and need to be brave. They will know they have another chance be the bravest of them all.
