WWYD? 4.5 yo got a splinter in his thumb at the playground. Made a big fuss about it. I told him that we would go home, take the splinter out with tweezers and then have a popsicle and play in the wading pool. Ultimately he would not let me remove the splinter so I said no popsicle etc. Big fuss! How do you get a splinter out of a big kid who's fussing because it hurts? Of course it hurts, but that doesn't mean you don't have to do it. I'm so frustrated.

Let him have a part in the process and read a book while you put a really peroxide soaked cotton ball on it before he goes to sleep. The rest should be simple. I hope you have a pair of slant tip Tweezermans; they're the best and quickest-for splinters and eyebrows.
