    Trying to teach kiddo that putting a bandaid on only to take it off a few minutes later is a waste. Not having success with that one.

      I know. Gentle reminders that it needs to stay on to work, buy cheaper bandaids if necessary (but I think the cheap plastic ones always give the child a loose edge to pick. I really like the fabric ones, and I buy store brand), but keep using them.

      Somehow the child gets a feeling of being cared for, and stays there as a reminder that you care.
