My friend told me that her daughter has a friend who takes around eight pills a day, even though she is perfectly healthy. Her mother even gives her sleeping pills every day. One day she came to my friend’s house and sleepover with the other kids. The party was on full swing, and my friend felt heart-broken when she gave her sleeping pills at around 8 o’clock. Obviously, she couldn’t fall asleep until all her friends slept hours later.

Parents are responsible for guiding their babies and kids on what the right attitude is towards medication.

There are babies and young children died of poisoning every year. This could be prevented if they were taught the right attitude towards medication. So parents should show their children that it is wrong to take pills whenever they feel uncomfortable. Many of the fatal cases of poisoning can be avoided if they have this thinking.

When a child experiences pain, love and acknowledgment from parents are needed instead of pills. For instance, a child slips somewhere far away from his house. He feels pain and cries furiously. Then he start to return to his house and stops crying gradually on his way home. However, he cries again when he is back home and sees his parents. You may think he is pretending but actually he is not. He restarts crying just because his pain is acknowledged by his parents. What he needs are his parents’ care and understanding of the pain he experienced.

At an early age, babies and kids are already capable of concentrating on one focal point. This can be an object or a thought. You’d probably remember how your child’s stare stays fixed on a ceiling fan or his own hand. They are giving that object full concentration. Under the same principle, you can direct your child’s thought to something more positive and take them away from the pain. This may also speed up the whole healing process.
