My sis is an OD and she works with the disabled and children almost exclusively. The worst are rambunctious children who won’t sit still. You REALLY have to sit still when someone is working on your eyes. REALLY. Her secret power is she hugs the kids who won’t sit still for a minute and they melt. All they want is someone to hug them and tell them everything is okay. Some children clutch onto her like they’re drowning and she is driftwood and they start sobbing. Their parents will buy them any number of expensive electronics but won’t spend time with them or hug them or even engage them. When my sister hugs them, they are absolutely desperate for any kind of physical comfort. If you want your kid to be open to molestation, then ignore them. Never hug them. Never tell you love them. They WILL find what they need SOMEWHERE. The parents tell my sister their children can’t wait to come to the OD office. They don’t understand why. It’s because they want SOMEONE to hug them and care for them for a change and the latest iPhone doesn’t do that. We all need a hug now and then. Where is Leo Buscaglia when you need him?
