I have a neice that is 30 hours older than Brittany she will be 6 in March. Rachel is super quiet. So quiet and such a high threash hold of pain that if she gets hurt or is hurt she keeps it to her self and wont tell mommy or daddy.
Yesterday she got so hurt on the playground at school that once mommy and daddy found out the had to take her to the emergency room.
Here is the story of what happened to her:
We found out completely by accident, she was going potty and then Kerstin went in, she didn't flush so I asked did you wipe and she said no, i said then wipe, i don't want to, why? I'm ascared, of what? it'll hurt, i said when you don't wipe you itch and when you itch you scratch and that's why your V hurts all the time, so wipe, BLUBBER<BLUBBER<BLUBBER, geeeeeez, then she tells us she fell at lunch and hurt her V, good God when I looked at it I swear I wanted to pass out, SHOCK
So we went to the Dr., she was afraid she'd need stitches, the Dr. was very good, showed her pics of his daughters and told
R that when they hurt their privates he would have to look at them so he's seen little girls bottoms and he put is hands behind his back and told her he wouldn't touch her and that he would have mom pull down her panties. So, he kept his hands behind his back. He said 99% of the time they don't need stitches and that she should be fine by the end of the weekend.
This is how it happend...she was swinging around a light pole at lunch and slipped on some ice. After the Dr. I drove onto the playground and she pointed it out to me. She doesn't need stitches, just putting ice on it to keep the swelling down.
How does she get this little one to open up and express when she is hurting? Any ideas would be helpful...
God forbid that if this was something else and she was afraid to tell someone. You dont want that for your kids...

Bailey is the same way. Sometimes I can get him to open up by just asking a lot of questions but he rarely just offers information to me.
How scarey and embarrassing that must have been for her. I remember my dr checking me 'down there' when I was only around age 4! 
Until I got pg and had to go to the dr all the time I always avoided them cuz I have been uncomfortable with Drs since then. Nothing bad happened to me or anything, just embarrassing and stuff. I hope that she wasn't too upset.
