I've never met another child who does this and I've sadly grown used to the contemptuous looks we get from others when it happens, so it's a relief to know we're not alone. <BR/><BR/>Lucy, yep, that's what we've tried too, not mentioning it at all until it's just about to happen and trying not to let the anticipation build up.

I find the best way is not to mention any 'taking out' methods until just before you do it and try to do it fast so it's over before he gets worried about it. Easier said than done though I know. He is much better now he's older.lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09207415938967519578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13614584.post-1151187680270901752006-06-24T23:21:00.000+01:002006-06-24T23:21:00.000+01:00oh, poor thing. my nephew also gets into a complet...oh, poor thing. my nephew also gets into a complete state of panic.<BR/>no advice thoughHelenHaricothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272384373030929713noreply@blogger.com
