Pill Practice for Kids
It can be difficult for children to learn to swallow pills with water. Suggest to parents that miniature versions of candy-coated chocolates (eg, M&M's Minis) are a harmless substitute with which to practice.
It can be difficult for children to learn to swallow pills with water. Suggest to parents that miniature versions of candy-coated chocolates (eg, M&M's Minis) are a harmless substitute with which to practice; they do not present the choking hazard that larger candies might. However, be sure to stress that any pill-swallowing practice session involving candies needs to close with a reminder to the child that real pills are not candy and must never be treated as such.
