Heading to the hospital with your child? Maybe they need an IV placed or need to stay as an inpatient for a few days? Both you and your child are probably pretty stressed about the whole thing. But help is on the way!
They are the scenarios all parents dread.
Your toddler wakes up a 2 am wailing and pulling on her ear.
Your 10-year-old tries to do "wheelies" on his bike.
You find him sitting in the driveway clutching his arm, and it's swelling before your eyes.
Your parents said them to you, and now you may catch yourself saying them to your kids - childhood myths. "Gum will stay in your stomach for seven years." "You'll hurt your eyes if you read in the dark." How about the five-second rule?
As a parent, you might picture your child's first hospital experience in your mind. Maybe you imagine your child calmly holding still, everything goes smoothly, life is grand, and you are eating ice cream on the way home.
