[QUOTE="Andy, post: 149018, member: 5096"] They give those tablets to school kids once in awhile but I can never find them in public either. Would the school nurse or whoever gives the health classes have a lead? I would love to get some for my kids also. I have heard that sometimes medications take its toll on teeth. A pediatric dentist may know more on that. Did the dentist have any input as to why so many cavities? How about genetics? I believe poor teeth run in families. As for Take Your Kid to Work Day. I think it is so good for kids to have that experience and fun for workers also. This year I took advantage of it for the first time (I have a small private office so knew difficult child wouldn't bother co-workers, just me). I worked for 3 hours - the first 2 were fine - difficult child brought his lap top and played games. The next 1/2 hour was starting to fidget and getting bored. The last 1/2 was hands on calculator and hanging out in the hallway. My office is in a locked area so he couldn't get too far. He was upset that I would not let him watch the t.v. in a gathering area since he was suppose to be in my sight at all times. Anyway, he stated it was harder to go to my work than his dad's office (larger, more space to spread out/play) and school. My son's class will go to the MN capital next year and I can't wait. We may try to find time to get there this Spring (if Spring ever comes - go away blizzard). What a fun and special day for you and difficult child! :) [/QUOTE]
