During the same month, a magazine ad t o 1 d about children "taste-testing"' drugs. They were helping drug manufacturers decide whether to flavor medicine with custard or with chocolate mint. Is it wrong to make medicine taste like candy? No. There is nothing wrong \v i t h making medicine easy to take. And there is no question that sweet-tasting medicine is easier for a child to swallow. What is wrong is permitting a child to think that medicine is candy. Make sure your children don't. Teach them that those sweet pink pills are medicine and why they have to take them. Calling medicine candy is not only dangerous. It is also a way of concealing the fact that life can be unpleasant.

ZSISedlUMN] Not Candy The doctor told h e r firmly that the child would either take his medicine or go to the hospital. Mother tried again. This time, the pill went down. What made the difference? Candy-coating? N o t at all. The child had learned that his mother meant business. That this was something he had to swallow. Children need to learn there is a time for medicine and a time for candy. Just as much as thcv nr?r?H ln\*o -Mirl parents they can trust to tell them the truth. The wise parent will try to judge when sugar coating is right and when it is wrong.
