I absolutely love how you guys don't sugarcoat things with him! Making sure he knows all the things that are about to happen are so important! When i had my back operated on when i was thirteen, my doctors and parents told me exactly what they were going to do and the day of the surgery i wasn't scared at all! kudos to you guys!

[@yesim289]

Was it scoliosis?

[@HLB313]

When my friend was little the doctor said if her tonsils got infected they would “just whip them out” and she flatly refused, and only realised years later they didn’t mean with an actual whip!

[@707Bubby]

yeah I think it makes kids more prepared and so they are less scared. Although Parker also WANTED to see all that stuff and I can understand that if its a kid that doesnt like needles that you can walk them through it and be honest about whats happening but also it can scare them more if they know TOO much beforehand.
