More Quotes from Vincent Sciortino:
It's up to parents to educate the children about being at the doctor's office, explaining that shots are routine and nothing to worry about. Use positive reinforcement. Tell them before hand that after the visit they will get a lollipop or prize.Vincent Sciortino
