Blood tests

Deleted User

Hello. Our daughter (almost 9 years old) really struggles with personal space and this is currently an issue as she desperately needs a blood test. We managed to put the numbing cream on, got her to the doctor's for the paediatric nurse (who knows her) to do the blood test and our daughter refused and got extremely anxious and upset. We had to leave without it being done.

Any advice would be massively appreciated as at the moment I feel I am letting her down as I don't know how best to support her. 

Many thanks.
