How unusual is it for a 2 1/2 year old to not cry when getting stuck with a needle to draw blood?

1 Answer

Answer :

My nephew didn’t cry when he got any of his immunization shots. My brother has to have his blood drawn often, for the last 5 years or so. My nephew is now 8. He actually is fascinated by watching his dad get his blood drawn, whereas most kids are afraid to watch that procedure. I, on the other hand, was the biggest crybaby when it came to getting shots. Thank goodness I outgrew that, but not until I was well into my 20’s.
