[QUOTE="este, post: 446497, member: 89193"] Believe me I can relate to your daughters point of view here - I'm nineteen now but those tantrums still seem like yesterday haha. I was diagnosed when I was 7 and I remember screaming, crying and even lashing out at my mum because if a BM or injection was outside a normal routine, I wasn't prepared for it and didn't see why it was necessary. My parents tried everything from the 'your health in the future' talk to bribery, but in the end I remember their patience worked the best. They would just sit it out, let me cry and scream and eventually I'd either be feeling so ****** or guilty that I'd usually go ahead with whatever was needed. Then they would tell me I was brave and stuff and that helped a lot. I thank my parents for their perseverance with my health now and even if you feel bad at the time it will be worth it when your daughter is older. [/QUOTE]
