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.

@romeskie - I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. It means a lot. My wife and I try to show love and grace in all situations, but like everyone we miss the mark at times.

I remember my parents using the "hide medicine in food" trick. There was one particular medicine that was a capsule that contained little rounds balls. Mom alway use to open the capsule and drop the balls in apple sauce. It sure did taste bad.

Fortunately, the pill that Curls was taking was already rather small, but we may need to break larger ones into pieces in the future. I am very proud that she pressed through. Part of the life is realizing that family is there to support you when you feel like giving up.
