[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 112195, member: 1233"] I have one child allergic to artificial sweeteners in a big way. This means that ALL chewable medications are out, and ALL prescription medications (esp antibiotics) are also NOT something he could take. He had to learn to swallow pills at an early age. We practiced with M&M's. I started when he was about 3 with mini M&M's. If he could swallow them then he got to eat the rest of the tube of M&M's or earned points toward a new book. After he mastered the mini ones, we worked with the big ones. Now, at 8, he can swallow even really big tablets like supplements sometimes come in. We are lucky that it didn't trigger sensory issues, but it did work. And he earned enough points to buy most of the Magic Treehouse books!! Just an idea. Susie [/QUOTE]
