Screaming and tears

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Zach is becoming extremely upset at every doctors appointment. It

starts as soon as he sees the parking garage. He starts doing

the " all done " sign and trying to say " done " . I am careful not to

say done until we are ready to leave, but it doesn't help much. We

had our last synagis shot today and Zach was a mess.

I thought Elmo band-aids might do the trick, but nothing works until

I can say all done and take him to the van.

So, do any of you have any tips for helping a toddler with doctors

appointments??
