Personally, I struggled with swallowing pills into adulthood. One thing that

I find makes a difference is to use a straw. My daughter though, at 4,

learned with mini M & Ms and this worked great for her. Good luck. Kim

My son who is 10 will not swallow a pill to this day. I have tried

practicing with everything. it just freaks him out. For a while we used

capsules I

could open. I sprinkled the contents on ice cream every morning!!! yes, ice

cream. He ate it for awhile but the novelty wore off. I know it is tough...I

still haven't mastered it with him...but my suggestion is to keep trying to get

them to do it right, Once they do, they will realize how easy and fast it is

to swallow
