Drink Up: The Medicine Trick
Getting children to take their medicine can be a daily battle, but with a bit of creativity, it doesn’t have to be. One effective trick is to mix the medicine with a small amount of their favorite juice or yogurt. This disguises the taste, making it easier for kids to swallow without fussing.
Another approach is to use a fun, reward-based system. For instance, create a colorful sticker chart where they can place a sticker each time they take their medicine without a fuss. Over time, they can earn a small treat or extra playtime, making the experience more positive and less stressful for both of you.
