[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 269136, member: 1514"] How much does he really know and understand about his health in general? Does he know his height and weight and if he is in the correct proportions? Maybe have a height/weight check each week and put that on a chart with a smiley face for good health...lol. Teach him the food pyramid so he knows how to eat a balanced meal and give him a good children's cookbook so he can learn to make easy nutritious meals. get him the water bottles from walmart in the little 8 oz bottles the first time and save them to use over and over. Tell him how many he needs to drink each day. He can put flavoring in them. The little bottles make it fun. They even have one shaped like a baseball. This last little bit will sound weird. Keep some castor oil on hand and some regular vitamins from say GNC. The castor oil is for when difficult child is just purely faking things and you know it. It is your special medicine for those days. "Ok difficult child, I will get the medicine but then you really must lay in bed because you are sick." He wont like those days. LOL. The vitamins are to give him at night or in the morning because they are his new special pills to help keep him well. They have all kinds of special herbs and vitamins in them that are made especially for him. They have packs for teen boys with like 6 or so pills to the pack. That ought to impress him. [/QUOTE]
