Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have a few questions. I really don't know what to do for my kids. I use lemon-egg for calicum, take herbal cleansing tablets and/or powders. Eat leafy green vegs. But, my children won't. They cannot swallow pills (they are 9 and 11) plus some of them are huge. I know they are not getting proper nutrition. Any tricks?? Thanks, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 There are some wonderful cookbooks for kids. I found that my daughter will eat any meal that she has planned and made. Rachel Ray has a good one for kids and there are several good vegetarian kids cookbooks too. Betty Crocker reprinted her classic 1957 cookbook for kids and that has a lot of salad suggestions. For the lemon-egg and powders, can you disguise them in smoothies? I get a lot of good stuff in my kid before she is completely awake in the morning if it is mixed with fruit.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 My kids (8 and 11) take pills and my 11 year old has been doing it since she was 7. I'm sure your kids can do it if you give it a try. If not, before we taught my 8 y.o. to swallow pills, he took Dr. Christopher's Kid-E-Mins which is a liquid in a dropper bottle. Doesn't taste too good but he always has a drink ready to wash it down. We also gave him chewable cal/mag supplements. >>I have a few questions. I really don't know what to do for my kids.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Make yummy tasting syrups. If still hesitant, try and create a sort of candy with the syrup or substances. It can always be done somehow, but God knows there's not much worse in the world than a kid deciding to be difficult lol Erin --- Kim <irishgirl75 wrote: > I have a few questions.
