Teaching Kids to Swallow Pills

7/12/2018

 

Teaching Kids to Swallow Pills

This is an issue that comes up frequently in my visits: we have all these great herbs and nutrients that we’d like kids to take, but they only come in a pill form. Or, there are liquid or chewable forms of the things that they need, but they taste terrible.  Or they have to take a capsule medication for a sickness, and because they've never learned how to swallow a pill, it turns into a meltdown and half of their medication ends up on the floor. ​​

Sound familiar? Many kids feel frightened that they’ll choke or that a pill will get stuck in their throat. Others may not be afraid of swallowing pills - they've just never learned how. Either way, swallowing pills is a skill, and it can be taught and built on over time. ​
Here are a few tried and true methods to help your little ones learn how to be comfortable with taking pills.

While most states offer medical licensing to naturopathic doctors, Michigan does not currently offer licensure to ND's.
Until Michigan's licensing bill is passed, naturopathic medicine in Michigan is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.
Because of this Dr Silver's medical licensed is issued by the state of Vermont and he works locally under the title Naturopathic Health Consultant.
