How do you make your 7 year old drink pills?
One trick that I use, since my daughter does yet swallow pills, is to crush them between 2 tablespoons and mix them with maple syrup. One thing to keep in mind though is that some pills should NOT be crushed (like with some extended release meds that have to stay intact in order to be absorbed slowly), so this strategy doesn't work for all types of meds. You should ask the pharmacist.
