A child's crying can be manipulative and meant to ward of a much needed enema. When my trusted MD tells me how to treat my child, you better believe I listen. I did discuss what happens when I get the crying during an enema and was told to continue, gently and slowly but to be firm in following through with the process. It is with my child's health in mind that I continue. I asked the board about this to learn if other care givers experienced this constant crying during a kid's enema and wanted feedback on different approaches on how to handle it as well as possible. I have both oars in the water.

Though I believe in gentleness with giving children a needed enema, the health benefit out weighs the fussing when it is really necessary. So I also would continue with an enema for the child's best welfare. My kids were easy to enema, but if they weren't, I've had insisted because I believe in the benefits and necessity of enemas.

I guess it's an unfortunate necesssity to "bear with the screaming" and get the job done (in order to get the jobbie done!)
