I know. Gentle reminders that it needs to stay on to work, buy cheaper bandaids if necessary (but I think the cheap plastic ones always give the child a loose edge to pick. I really like the fabric ones, and I buy store brand), but keep using them.
Somehow the child gets a feeling of being cared for, and stays there as a reminder that you care.
Trying to teach kiddo that putting a bandaid on only to take it off a few minutes later is a waste. Not having success with that one.

My 2 year old treats them like stickers but for any pain she has. Or just to stick on her forehead.
Good point
