My dd had her ears peirced a little before christmas (she is 5) and they got infected dispite washing them every day with peroxide. One got better and the other got worse. So I took out the earring and let it heal. The hole closed up and now she has 1 peirced ear and one not. Today her grandparents took her to get the other one re-done because she said she was ready. Well she got nervous and they decided to HOLD HER DOWN while the lady did it. She had a fit ( of course) and they ended up not doing it. So my question is, would you leave the 1 earring in and just wait until she got over her fear to get the other one done (could take months, weeks or years) Or would you take the other one out and let it close up and get them both done again later if that is what she wants?

I would just let them all close up and then get her repierced later. This is what my mom did when the same thing happened to me. I was 4, one earring fell out and then got infected. My mom took them both out and then I got them pierced again when I was 7 for my 1st Communion.
id tell her to get the other one done if shes not ready or anything then id take both of them off and tell her when shes ready again youll take her to get both of them pierced again....
I'm sorry but they held her down ???? Its not like it was a needle that she HAD to have because of her health!, if she has said that she was ready...and then got scared and decided not to do it, then they should have respected that and backed off.
I would just take out the one earring, its just earrings....she could always get clip on's that look no different.
just take both out intill she is ready you never know the other one might not grow up
i'd just wait, having one in isnt a big deal. when you get the other one done then you only have to worry about that one. And then she doesnt have to go through the pain of getting both and wind up backing out again. She'll just need the one pierced and it'll be done. Whats the purpose of making her get both all over again
Leave the one in, that way the hole doesn't partially close. Sometimes getting it repierced is more painfully than just having one. You can buy little gemstickers pretty cheap just to keep them look even. but I wouldn't want to repierce and ear that doesn't need to be repierced.

Yes they did. My inlaws are 'interesting' people. They thought it was nearly a crime I didn't get her ears peirced when she was a baby and constantly asked when her ears were getting peirced. I wanted her to be the one to decide. She finally decided she wanted to and she kept asking for several months. So I decided christmas would be a good time. My MIL went with us and when dd had second thoughts she talked her into it and sat with her while they did it. It was fine until they got infected, the one got really painful. Then after that every time I even looked at the other earring to check on it she would flinch and ask if it would hurt. Then the inlaws had fits because I took the earring out for it to heal. So when dd finally thought she was ready to get it done again her grandpa thought he could get her through it if she got nervous again. picture zz top and santa mixed together. It didn't work out obviously.

take the other out and let it close and wait until she is fully ready.
