Answer to Question 1

Distraction would be the best technique to use. Have the receptionist read a book to the child and at the same time block the child's view so that he cannot see what is going on. Tell the child that there will be a little pinch while the parent holds the child's arm to keep it from moving.

Answer to Question 2
