I would be very interested. I have taken on caring for 3 kids for a relative and there is one, an 8 year old boy, who I feel cannot follow through on following instructions to keep a glass oral thermometer safe in his mouth like the other 2 kids. So I am looking for guidance on using a glass rectal thermometer. I purchased 5 inch glass rectal thermometer at a thrift store along with 2 regular size glass oral thermometers. When I was growing up, when one of us kids got sick, we all got a temperature taken in the living room at the same time. But in the present, I wonder how he will react to having his temperature take in his "butt" at the same time the other 2 get a temperature taken in the mouth.

Nicole,
What have you tried so for?
Honestly, you might have to take that moment to hold that thermometer to get that reading from the 8 year old. You would think, well he is old enough to hold it himself, but it may be a battle not worth fighting. Train Train Train. Pat on the back, high five! He is at that age that simple praise may work on him.
