No compliance, no programme.<br /><br />We also used to sing songs and nursery rhymes etc and it's how Sophie learnt to count during neb treatments (although I imagine more difficult with a mouthpiece :) ). It helped her judge how long was left as we only ever started counting towards the end.<br /><br />Now we entertain her with our iphones if she gets a little bored but the only thing I can really say is routine.<br /><br />Make sure you stick to the same times every day and lay the law down, 'this treatment is going to happen'. It's hard to start with but so worth the end result.<br /><br />I hope something there helps and again, good luck!<br /><br />xxGemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957950095913776584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536389736433238964.post-30554975767559718492010-10-13T11:38:52.573-07:002010-10-13T11:38:52.573-07:00Margaux, we are also constantly looking for new st...Margaux, we are also constantly looking for new strategies to keep Tom entertained during his treatments, especially when it is a TOBI month. The latest success strategy for us is the Australian Kids Entertainment group Hi 5 - he loves it and does not move - except to clap at the bits he loves! Let me know what else you discover! Good luck!Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718975603611947140noreply@blogger.com
