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.
