Parenting absolute: you kid is not going to like taking medicine. In fact, your kid will struggle with you practically every time...especially when they get to the age that they are aware of what's going on. A couple of nights ago, the kid was running a fever. I needed to give him Motrin, but wasn't necessarily up for the fight. Enter M. He comes in with the Motrin already measured in the dosage spoon and tells the kid he's got some "vitamin juice". GENIUS! The kid LOVES his flinstone vitamins. With a huge grin on his face, the kid runs to M's outstretched hand and takes the dosage spoon, gulping down the Motrin and exclaiming, "yummy!"
Yee haw. Struggle averted.
Don't worry, I am making sure that the Motrin is WELL out of reach to 2-year-old hands.
