The title pediatric doesn't mean anything in this day and age. I have 10 children and all of them see very gentle and nic regular doctors and dentists. I ahve found them to be wonderful.<BR/><BR/>God Bless.junglemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176730853175967320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21143156.post-72381414740932948832007-11-01T15:17:00.000-07:002007-11-01T15:17:00.000-07:00Ooops, typo.

I thought they were all about making it a positive experience for the boys and a little warming them up, patience and perhaps creativity would have gone a long way.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734353279885248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21143156.post-15489394228316132342007-10-30T18:39:00.000-07:002007-10-30T18:39:00.000-07:00I would say that it's kind of weird.

I mean, our pedi drs always had me hold my little ones until they were comfortable, unless it interfered with what they were examining; and even then they gave them right back to me afterwards. The only time I've ever had to hold down my kids were for vaccinations and that's understandable. Sheesh! <BR/>Well, you can always check out a new dentist. :) <BR/>We haven't been to the dentist yet but that will come sometime in the near future. <BR/>Even when Judah had hearing tests done at age 2 I was allowed to sit next to him and hold him. I was talking in a very matter of fact voice about everything but he was nervous. So, I guess every dr I've ever been to has been pretty much kid friendly. I guess I've been pretty blessed in that area. I never thought about it before. When Judah broke his foot at age 4 and they were trying to set it he was very very scared and they even let him change positions then and worked around the fear. He was fine as long as he could see what they were doing. <BR/>This is getting into babble. Sorry. I'm so glad that your husband was there. Don't you feel bad at all about asking your husband to come. If mine could accompany us to the dr's office I would gladly accept his help!! :):)musicmommy3https://www.blogger.com/profile/05737575036149219677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21143156.post-13150479590219533352007-10-30T15:20:00.000-07:002007-10-30T15:20:00.000-07:00Hi Lea,Longtime lurker here, but I read your blog ...Hi Lea,<BR/><BR/>Longtime lurker here, but I read your blog every single day and really enjoy reading about how the boys are doing. I am the adoptive Mom of a two year old boy from the Kemerovo region in Russia and we've been home for just over a year. Jack turned two in September, so he's pretty darn close to your little ones in age!!<BR/><BR/>About the pediatric dentist... you are absolutely right to expect that they would be special in some way other than office set up. My dentist actually comes to the waiting room himself for each child and spend a couple of minutes playing with them in the waiting room. He makes a big deal out of talking to him directly and tells him what a big boy he is for sitting in the chair, etc. The very first time we saw him, he told me to hold Jack in my lap so he wouldn't be scared!!<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him and Jack thinks going to the "teeth doctor" is just the best!!<BR/><BR/>I should've posted a long time ago, so you would know I was here... I found you via Tonya's blog and just love reading about all your experiences.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck and take care!!<BR/>Kim and JackKim and Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383446622443768075noreply@blogger.com
