N2  - For most misbehaving pediatric patients, their fear is linguistic (established and reinforced through internal dialogue anticipating the event) rather than biological (triggered involuntarily by a specific stimulus). This paper discusses ontological coaching, a means of addressing and reversing this negative perception. Setting appointment ground rules with the parents in advance also is addressed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
