its a very funny incident. i was very scared of needles n injections that doctors use.when i was just 8 yr old, my mom took me to doctor for injection. i was not aware of that, but when i came to knew that i started shouting very loudly
it was impossible for doctor to give me injection, so my mom had to clamp her hand on my mouth to smother my screams. she kept her hand tightly pressed on my mouth until doctor was finished with his job.if she wouldnt had covered my mouth, i would have created a scene out there coz i was screaming really hard.this incident really makes me laugh till now
and what more, it was winter season that time and my mom was wearing thick skin tight leather gloves.
.thank god i didnt had a blocked nose that day.do u think that my mom did the right thing at that moment? n why?

Wow, that must have been traumatizing to especially since you were so young. The needle being the big bad pokey monster and your mother fueling your helplessness by being its co-conspirator.
But your mother probably had enough experience with you to know that you wouldn't take that needle lying down. So, in your best interest, and at the risk disrupting your psychy she did what she had to so the doctor could do what he had to.
I have some similar memories of my childhood, and when I point out my mothers mistakes that she made she just says, "well I didn't know any better".
Which is so true.
Sure wish we could have come out with instruction manuals!

No your mother didn't do the right thing, you never put your hand over a childs mouth like that. Dr's are use to the screaming, it isn't a big deal.

I don't think I would have handled it that way. I would have wanted you to understand the shot wouldn't hurt very much and would protect you from sickness.
My kids were always pretty good about taking shot except when they were really little.
