To train a child to take capsules, get instruction from a vet for giving
pills to a cat or dog. Same technique, same training method and very
effective. Parents should not give up too easily since that is letting
their children make the important decisions.

Cindy,
This post had me cracking up, as this is what we did all weekend, thanks to
Lorilyn's post on this list. For all of you out there who want your child to
swallow a pill, this works without a doubt! We tried it on the spoon,
holding
the nose, etc. nothing worked. This however, worked. We coated it up with
coconut butter, put it way back on his tongue, (that's the hard part) and
down it went, I could not believe it. Thanks so much for everyone's
ideas,you
are such a clever, resourceful bunch! Val
