    I think that you probably need to make some exceptions for doctors, etc., since children will say ‘no’ to things that they actually need, like vaccines, or dental work.

      The older one just had a dental appointment today, and was uncomfortable with some of the procedures. My wife talked him through things along with the hygenist, and for a few things she took a different approach he was more comfortable with.

      With vaccine reluctance, we generally go straight to bribes. We treat ourselves after doing something like that anyway, so why not them?

      So far, we haven’t had any issues yet!
