In response to "how the nurse at my summer camp treated homesickness" by moles

not to be all CQ but I kind of think this is a far more appropriate approach

(sorry, CQ, I couldn't help it)

I definitely prefer to avoid deception when possible, but as a new parent, I am much less likely to condemn any technique that works. -- nm - psilotum Jul 7, 10:37 1
- i was more thinking, kids need to learn how to cope on their own without leaning on a "pill" to make it all better. - kare Jul 7, 10:41
Eh, it doesn't hurt anything and it gets the boys back out and participating, instead of sitting in their tents sulking. The youngest are like 10. -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:32 3
- The *youngest* are 10?? Wow. Kids are dumb indeed. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 10:37
- it's easy for a non-parent such as myself to judge such things. ;) in the overall scheme of things, probably not a big deal, eh. - kare Jul 7, 10:35 1

Yes. It means that kids will get used to placebo treatments, and won't respond to them as adults. -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 10:30 4
- Damit, I hate when people build up an immunity to placebos! Then you have to start using stronger and stronger placebos to be effective. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 10:34 2
  - I know. Our top candy minds should be working on developing sweeter and sweeter placebos. -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 10:40 1
    - Pretty soon you've developed a whole group of super hypochondrias that are resistant to even the strongest placebos. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 10:45

agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:29
