[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 484010, member: 805"] [FONT='comic sans ms'][SIZE=3]rd, good morning and welcome to the board! I too struggled with my son in regards to medications when he was about your difficult child's age. I did everything the summer before first grade to get him to swallow a pill - the big bribe was a trip to Toys 'R Us. I bought that cup that is supposed to make it easy to swallow - tried to get him to practice with tic tacs, etc. Nothing worked! A week before school started here's how the conversation went, "difficult child, we don't have any time left for you to try and do this - it has to be done. Here's the deal, you are Stellaluna and I am the momma bird and I am going to give you a nice juicy grasshopper! Just open your mouth and put your head back and I'll drop it in!" Worked! I always handed him a little juice glass with soda because the bubbles seemed to help. But I started that first day by dropping the pill down his throat and we did that for about two years!!!!! He loved the story Stellaluna and it just came to me. Whatever works...... Glad you came out of lurkdom to join us. Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
