Both of our kids practiced pill-swallowing with tic-tacs until they could do it smoothly, and for both of them the "reward" was not having to taste that nasty medicine. But again, they were both older when they were put on meds long term, so I don't know that this would work well for a little.
that is soooo cool-never thought of that--my son is taking vyvanse and we sometimes have battles in getting him to take whatever I put the medicine in-wish he could just swallow the dang pill :D ...might have to try tic tacs.lol what a cool idea!
I know what you are talking. Our doctor put our daughter on Adderall because she was diagnosed with ADHD and she also refuses to take them but she doesn't even know what it is like to be on them. the thing is that I still don't know whether are they helpful or they are not and I am afraid to put her on this med. have your son been better while on the drug, I do understand that they are 2 different drugs, but I am still curious?? any help appreciated
