"Muscle tension: A technique to help prevent fainting during needles
Muscle tension: alternating between tensing and releasing muscle(s) in the body (e.g., arms, legs, stomach).
Muscle tension increases your blood pressure prior to and during the needle. When the needle is presented, your blood pressure does not drop to a low level, preventing you from fainting." - Muscle Tension Resource - Strategy for Needle Related Fainting

Wonderfully clear advice! Very easy to impart the knowledge to worried parents, the use of clear diagrams is also very useful when literacy is an obstacle to understanding by parents.
I am finding your website a very useful resource indeed, thank you!
