How do I get my child to learn how to swallow Pills for medication?

I have found with the old and young, that if they take the pills with fizzy lemonade they don't even realize that they have swallowed them. P.S.My Mother used to break all her tablets into quarters until she used this method.

Give them Aspirin if they're complaining before Bedtime...gives some time for pill(s) to have effect.\n\nDraw a warm Bath & let child relax in Tub for several minutes.\n\nGently Massage affected areas - while in Tub - Afterwards, If still required!?\n\nSeems to do the Trick!

there is a liquid available at your local pharmacy called ipecac, used when children swallow something they shouldn't.

The label that says keep out of reach of children is on the bottle - so you need to keep the bottle out of their reach. if you were supposed to keep the medicine away from them it would have this warning written really small on those chewable children's tablets.

Here are some sites for you to look over:\n\nhttp://www.laureatelearning.com/parents/LLSinfo/newspar/tariqnews.html\n\nhttp://www.linguisystems.com/itemdetail.php?id=483\n\nhttp://autismcoach.com/Software%20Overview.htm\n\nhttp://do2learn.com/aboutus/research/languagegames.htm\n\n\nAs far as getting him to talk to express himself. Always give him two choices. Say the words for each one. Give him the thing he says first.\n\nFor example, if he likes grapes and apples, at lunch time have some grapes, and an apple ready.  Show him both, and say the name for each. Whichever word he says first, give that fruit to him. If he changes his mind, don't give him the other one until he says the name. Pointing to each, say the names until he says what he wants. Him pointing, screaming, or trying to hijack the fruit are not what will get him what he wants... only saying the word. \n\nTry to do this with as many activities as you can... always two choices of things he likes, and he has to say the name of what he wants to get it.\n\nThat's the first step, anyway.

Talk to the child and tell them that you expect them to learn to ride a bike.Tell them that it is important to you and them to learn.Let that sink in for a while,go get them a Coke.Let them absorb things.\nWhen you have waited long enough,have them sit on the bike seat and hold it steady for them.Do not let go and let them fall.\nWhen the time is right tell them that you are going to hold them up and push from behind:assure them that they will not fall.\nGo ahead and do it.Do that part until the child can see that it is doable.\nBegin to let go of the seat for a second or two and do not tell them that you have.Always gain control of the seat after that and make sure that they do not fall.\nKeep doing that and let go for longer periods of time.\nAt some point tell them that you are not holding them up,they are doing it themselves.\n(That presumes that they have learned to pedal,do not forget that part.)\nGrab the seat to make sure that they do not fall over.\nThen tell them that you are going to let go and let them cover a few feet:but that you are not going to reveal when you are not holding on.\nLet them know that you have not abandoned them but are able to grab hold at any time.\nComfort them with Cokes and what not--and tell them that you are so proud of them for trying.\nKeep it up and they will be riding in a couple of weeks.

You can start out by breast feading him still and then finishing the session with a bottle.  It's going to take a few tries for him to get used to but eventually he will take to it and he will even prefer the bottle after awhile.  Good luck.

In the UK we use programmes called Sounds-Write and THRASS which encourage children to listen to the sounds in a word and break it down in order to spell it correctly. They are not listening only for single letters but for block sounds too - th, gr, ee, etc.\n\nWe have lots of word games that we play. One of the most popular is a jigsaw puzzle type game for putting parts of words together to see the different words you can make and spell correctly. Children have a picture in front of them which they then 'label' with the puzzle pieces. ie picture of a frog; child finds 'fr' and 'og'.\n\nYou can use everyday objects around the house to encourage your son to speak. 'J' for juice. 'B' for bed. Get him to say these things with you. When you go shopping, give him his own list and help him work through it around the store, crossing off words as he finds the object. This will help him link words with daily life. \n\nTry not to make a huge thing out of it though. You don't want to put him off! His achievements, however small they may seem to you, need praising and he needs constant encouragement. \n\nI hope you understand what I mean.\nGood luck.

Check with the pharmacist.   There are medications that come in "sprinkles" that you could add to his/her favorite food.\n\nIf the child is always congested, have you considered food allergies?

Giving them vocabulary, and making them write a complete sentence with every word. I must say, the whole teaching parts of the sentences gets lost on kids, it's pointless. Just make them write sentences, while it may be onerous, it's better. Also, you could write an incorrect sentence and have them rewrite it.

There are other children who have had this problem, maybe they can give you a good answer! As a rule one drug can lead to other drugs. you need some one to intervene, you will not be able to prevent the child from using, especially if child is not ready to receive help! There are drug induced mental illness. You may want to go to a meeting for parents of users, AA, alateen for kids, adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families. You can seek out facilities for these problems. Get a hold of \ndr. phil, he will have info on how to deal with this. wHATEVER, YOU NEED TO SEEK HELP FOR THIS CHILD ASAP BEFORE THE CHILD IS LOST FROM USING.\nGOODlUCK. Take Action, THERE IS HELP! kEEP ASKING FOR HELP TILL YOU FIND IT!

From one special needs mom to another....you don't\nYou didn't mention what types of issues your child has  or your child's age but for most special needs children mouthing is a sensory issue ie they do it because it is soothing or helps them focus. Have a set of things that are okay to mouth and if they are mouthing something else give them one of the okay items. Since this may be a comfort issue for your child try not to make a big deal out of it as anxiety will increase the behavior my son finally stopped when he was about 4. If this is a major concern for you talk to a occupational therapist that specializes in working with sensory issues they will have lots of good ideas \nGood Luck\n\nBTW in most states it is considered child abuse to put pepper sauce on anything and give it to a child to break behaviors so please be aware if you choose to try something like this

for advances in pediatric care, you really have to pick a time span. Antibiotics are huge, but not very recent. One can consider medicines like ritalin for helping kids concentrate
