Here are some possible ways to distract your child:
Play with toys
Listen to music
Tell stories
Watch videos
Read books
Talk about something else (eg, favorite movie, what to eat for dinner, etc)
Count
Sing
Tell jokes
How you act can also play a big role in helping reduce anxiety. If you’re anxious, your child will more likely be anxious. If you’re calm, your child will more likely be calm.
To reduce anxiety, you can tell jokes and make your child laugh by talking about funny things. Try not to talk about what the nurse is doing as they prepare the injection. Your child may become more distressed if you say sorry or tell them not to worry.
