Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Sometimes when the children come in, you know the ones, they get sick before a test, someone picked on them at recess and now they don't feel good, they are tired, what ever the non-serious problem is....I give them my strong medicine. This pill is very strong, made for adults, so I can only give them half and that half a pill when chewed up will certainly take away the headache, tummy ache, mysterious I don't feel goods. After taking this strong medicine 99% of the time the child can make it through the rest of the day. What is this amazing pill?......1/2 a Tums. Kathy: I'm sure what you're doing with the Tums for the children in your class is with the best of intentions, but be careful. Have to admit if I found out a teacher was giving my kids 1/2 a Tums at school I would not be what you would call, " thrilled " . I understand completely about their anxiety symptoms and my son is going through the same thing right now, (I pray we live through 4th grade), but I don't support giving the kids a " pill " to make them feel better. You may be starting something that may become habit forming later on in their lives with real drugs. I'm not looking to start an argument or anything like that, but you have to protect yourself too, especially with what's been going on in the schools these days. I don't know where you live, but here on Long Island, our school nurse can't even give the kids Tylenol without a doctors note. Please be careful.
