Another inspired handling of a doctor’s visit



You may recall we got a lot of really awesome advice for helping our four-year-old daughter, Z, get through a stressful blood draw. Well, Baby Toolkit recently shared a fabulous story about taking their son to have an eye exam. I don't want to spoil it, but here's an excerpt:

I should note that Ranger is obsessed with video games to the point that he's pioneering his own English dialect of videogamlish. He randomly assigns many experiences of daily life random points values, and he calls everything fun from playing in the sink to rolling marbles across the floor video games. His absolute favorite actual video game at the moment is Mario Kart for Wii (which he only plays about once a month), and his transport of choice is the motorcycle.

I smiled at Jim's subtle reference and raised it a notch, "Wow, buddy, you get to play the eye video game. You can get 100 points for that eye."


It's a must-read for parents of the virtual generation (that's us, folks).
