The Splinter Removal Guide - Tweezers or...a Banana?

Taking out a splinter -- easy for some, intimidating for others, and rarely a fun experience for kids. This episode gives you the low-down on the best way to remove splinters from your kids, plus some more...unconventional...methods you can try if your kids simply won't let you get close with a pair of tweezers. Plus, learn when a splinter--yes, a splinter--might need to be evaluated by a doctor. *This episode is brought to you by my favorite tool for surviving long car trips with the kids--Audible.
