I really admire your parenting style. In your every post, you share the challenging bits of parenthood and you always show grace and love in how you address those hurdles.
As for tips on how to help kids swallow pills, my kid is still very young so we are not yet in that stage. But I remember my mom used to put the pill in a banana when my younger sister needs to take one. Another way is to crush or slice the medicine into smaller pieces, this way it will be easier to go with the water when you swallow.
