Re: [MD-List] being around children

See if the child can become comfortable around the chair when no one is in it.

See if the child will go for a ride in the chair once he or she is comfortable.

Do not press issue and just give the child the opportunity to become comfortable with the chair at his/her own pace.

I hope this helps.

She probably has not been around you enough. My grandson just turned 6 and was around Michael frequently all his life, so he was never afraid of a wheelchair....	Arlene breezytimber	Feb 3, 2004 12:39 am
