 - Build rapport early
     - Use comments and compliments more than questions; questions can be perceived as commands
     - Comment on things they like (e.g., their shoes, hair, shirt, favorite superhero)
+    - Physically get down on their level
     - For anxious children: they will know you are safe by judging their parents' cues, so for an anxious/clingy child, first build rapport with parent and then it will be easier to build rapport with child after they know you're safe
 - Make sure the chair is not too big for the child (i.e., their feet solidly reach the floor)
 - Make it into a game!
