1. **Be Positive: **Staying positive around medicine time helps to keep your child calm. Most children take their cue from a parent’s emotions.
2. **Give Choices:** Do you want to take medicine before or after nap time? Before or after your brush your teeth? Giving choices helps to make a child feel as though they have a say in the matter.
3. **Explain How Medicine Can Help:** If your child is old enough to understand, explain why he or she needs to take the medication and how it can help.
4. **Add Flavoring:** Flavoring can really help to make taking medication easier. Especially if your child is allowed to choose the flavor they would like! We offer over 42 flavor options.
5. **Choose Liquid, Capsule, or Chewable:** Talk to us about the different dosage forms available for your child’s medication! We would love to help you find something that works best for you!
