I get why people say it’s just a matter of getting used to changes, but honestly, I don’t think you’re being paranoid. My kid had a filling not too lo...
I get the idea that “any tool that helps build a habit…is worth trying,” but I’ve actually found the opposite with my kid. Too many reminders just mad...
