How to ask your son to drink medicine

There are some medicine good to drink and there are some that is horrible to drink, even your son some times would object strongly and refuse to drink.

So, even when mummy put the medicine into his favorite drink, Yakult or Ribena, Jay would refuse to drink.

So what do you do? It's time to negotiate. that won't work either.





This is a tip to solve that.

1. Tell him the truth. Mummy put medicine into the Yakult.
2. Tell him, medicine is good but taste awful.
3. Invent a way to drink. Tell him, if you cover your nose, you will not smell that awful taste, and drink fast fast swallow it fast fast. Then you will not taste the awful medicine.
4. Lastly, drink one second and quickly have deep breath.

So, the whole medicine drinking session become a very fun process, just like a game.

Jay take it well and really follow it and have fun with this. At the end, he is happy, and he finished the whole Yakult. Hooray!
