For some parents and children, the idea of having a blood test can be quite unsettling. Parents' past experiences can have an influence, either positive or negative, on how to prepare your child for their first experience. Ideally, to make it a positive experience, try to focus on the outcome; for example, as in this book, starting kindergarten, a change in lifestyle, and/or overall good health. Much health and happiness to you all! | Matthew Goes for a Blood Test by Mary-Ann Hilderley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
