It is so amazing how our children don’t seem to have the same fears, as I had as a children. I know I did not want to give my children all my fears from my own childhood.
I dreaded and feared the dentist! It was not the dentist fault – my Mum even tried to bribe me. She told me, “If you go in and get your teeth seen to by the dentist I will give you a bike.”
I thought about it for half a second. NO, I just couldn’t… it didn’t matter if she gave me all the toys in the world and mum had never bribe me to do anything before. I had experience terror of the injection that hurt so much, a check up appointment is what they told me, the next moment the injection was coming, I felt all dizzy and very unwell while my mum was holding me down.
Because of that experience I stopped smiling, so I did not show my holes in my teeth. The dreaded injections and me to this day, do not cross paths very often now. Taking my own children to the dentist was so different. The dentist would give a different name of what she was doing eg. raincoat for the plastic attached to the teeth to prevent the child from swallowing the stuff. Stamps on their hand for being good. They made going to the dentist much easier I knew I had to keep my fears quiet, I want the children to have strong white teeth. Our children have lovely shaped and white teeth and lovely smiles.
I would sit near the children and hang onto their hands while the dentist would put on the numming “jelly” waiting for area to numb up, constantly reassuring my children while the injection was being done. It was hard to watch. The numming jelly and better techniques, has made going back to the dentist easier.
What I got, I did not have to be my past experience, I chose to do things better with as least amount of impact, a calming way and be each of the children. Many things will not be like what I put up with.
We changed because Do you remember saying in your thoughts ” I’m not going to that to my children” that is why each generation was 50 times better than the last generation, these are from those memories and over time life has changed so quickly.
Now I am looking more at now as an adult what am I holding back on now.
