I found my husband's old football helmet from college, a small chair for to sit in and convinced him that he looked just like a " Top Gun " with the mask on his face and the helmet on his head. ly, he was cuter than Tom Cruise. We played the cockpit scenes over and over and that did the trick. After several days of playing the movie when it was time for a treatment he settled right into the routine. I don't remember how long it took him to give up the helmet and use the mask by itself. Hope some of you can use this approach to get your little ones to cooperate. You could also tell them they are in training to become astronauts and remember there are a few female fighter pilots now too. I saw one interviewed on television this morning.

Us Mom's will do anything to make things easier on our kids and making the nebulizer seem like a game makes it so much more fun.
