If it is the first time for a child to have an injection, when the child asks us what the injection is or what it feels like, we must tell the child truthfully. You can say to your child, "When we are sick or vaccinated, we may need an injection. Injections can help our bodies feel better. It hurts a little when we have an injection, but this kind of pain is something we can bear. If you feel pain or fear during the injection, cry if you want, and your mother will accompany you. " Don't lie to children that injections don't hurt at all, and don't force them to take injections when their emotions are particularly intense and they are particularly reluctant. This will only make children have deeper fear and resistance to injections. After the injection, we can talk to the child about the feeling of injection and the feeling in his heart. This can help children release their emotions and understand his views on injections.
You need to inform your child in advance before each injection, such as going to get a vaccine tomorrow and listening to your child's thoughts. When a child feels scared, he should empathize with the child, accept his emotions, help him identify and express his feelings, and give him enough support, so that the child can face the injection more easily.
My children never cried when they were young, and they didn't dare to get vaccinated. I took him to get vaccinated some time ago. I told him in advance, and he said he didn't want to get vaccinated, which surprised me a little. When it was his turn to have an injection, I carried him to the table and sat down. At this time, his mood suddenly became very intense and he began to cry. So I said to him, "You think the injection hurts a little, and you are afraid." He replied, "The injection hurts too much. I don't want to hit it. I am afraid. " I thought to myself, this has never happened before. What happened today? I just want to say that you were not afraid before, but you were brave. Why is this happening today? But on second thought, the state of children in each period is different. Why should I use it to measure the present? Now is the expression of his true feelings. He's really scared. What's the use of saying that? So I said to him, "the injection hurts a little, but we can bear it if you stick it like this (try it on his arm with your fingertips)." If you are afraid, you can hold your mother's hand. " He cried and said, "Mom, hug me. I want to hold your hand. " I held him and held his hand, feeling his mood calmed down a little. He stopped crying when the needle went in. After the fight, I said to him, "You see, an injection is not as terrible as you think. Mom saw that you were brave just now. " At this point, his mood has basically calmed down. On the way back, I've been thinking about it. I feel that he is not afraid of the pain of injection, but his inner fear of injection makes him afraid. If I just say to him blindly, "Vaccination is good for your health. You should be brave. If you look at other children and don't cry, why are you so timid? " I don't think it has any effect on him, it will only make him cry more. When I accept his emotions, empathize with him and understand him, I can help him ease his emotions. Moreover, every child's state in each period is really different, changing all the time, and it is the same every day. We need to see the true state of the child at the moment and accept him. ?
