[QUOTE="Andy, post: 200015, member: 5096"] You are doing GREAT! Scary that your daughter is so fascinated with medicine. She might be afraid that if you need medicine to keep you from getting sick than maybe she will also need medicine some day and what if she doesn't get it soon enough? She is so young to understand nutrition but maybe with her interest in medications, she will be open to some very basic nutritional needs? Have you ever talked to her about healthy foods that help many people to not need medicine? Dairy, Fruit, Veggies The food you give her is to keep her healthy. Sometimes people get sick because they don't eat good foods. When she asks for medications when you don't think she needs them, direct her to healthy foods - Oh, it sounds like you need an apple or banana or whatever you have available in the house. Healthy foods help us feel better. I have learned that when my difficult child starts getting a headache, he needs water or gaterade and a healthy snack. We have also figured out that easy child gets stomach aches when she gets dehydrated - she feels better when she has enough water and has eaten more healthy foods - less chips and soda! I don't know if this will help or not but focusing more on being healthy never hurts. [/QUOTE]
