[QUOTE="EddieA12, post: 2263141, member: 520221"] I fear the people that are saying ‘just do it!’ don’t have a 5 year old son. I have a son who is 4 and getting him to wash his hair in the bath can cause uncontrollable tears, so image how inserting a needle into you, after previous experiences of pain would go down! After speaking to my mother, she told me that I was the same and that as soon as I could do it myself it all went away! I was 5 when I started injecting myself. I’m sure the thought of a 5 year old using a needle may be a bit much, but if if understands it and can control it, that could really help. As I mentioned before, if the needle starts to go in a causes pain, then he can withdraw it and try somewhen else... [/QUOTE]
