Dylan is now 6 and from 9 months we did treatments. From things I have read

and heard the best way is to make kids understand from an early age that this

is it. If they don't like it too bad. Kids will fight, complain, KICK, etc.

but once they realize its here to stay the time lessens. My daughter is 12

and still fights me but not like when she was 6.

They are kids. What kid would want to breathe or do cpt's? NONE. We are

the adults - the parents - we have to make them since they don't know whats

good for them. All of the stories say that the adults that are doing well

had parents that made them do treatments. They grew up knowing that they HAD

to do it! If we don't instill the routine when they are young it will be

utter hell when they reach 15!!!

We all learned to brush our teeth. Yes, we hated it but we did it. Why?

Because our parents MADE us......then we trusted and listened to them and now

we must to the same with treatments. Kids don't know whats good for them we

DO...........

Just my 2 cents.........

Rosemary in New York with 3 children with CF - they are 12, 10, 6...I coined

the phrase " BREATHE DAMMIT " ; and now we have a dog named - are you ready for

this - TOBI after their medication!
