[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 375816, member: 1233"] The Alien Slime Swallow sounds like a great method to me. Get the mini M&Ms to practice with - for some reason they work better than tic tacs. Maybe it is the shape? You can get them in tubes at the candy counter or in the baking aisle in semisweet chocolate by the chocolate chips. I don't think vyvanse is a medication you can open up because it is time released. If this is an insurmountable issue they do make a patch with a stimulant in it, I think it is called daytrana. You just stick it on your child someplace where he won't pull it off and let it go. There is also a thread in the Early Childhood Archives titled "Pill Swallowing Help". You can either skim the Easy Child Archives or use the phrase in a search to find other ideas. For medications you can open up, putting them into a spoonful of choc syrup and letting the child have a second spoonful to get rid of the taste works like a charm. Just be sure to use a small spoon (Wiz once brought me a serving spoon thinking I would fill it full with choc syrup!) and stir the medication in with a toothpick. [/QUOTE]
