I have to be blunt here. Every parent since Adam and Eve has looked for some magic pill to make their children behave "just right". Parenting is hard work; good parenting, even harder. And just when you think you've devised the magic discipline or parenting style, that child grows some more and upsets that kettle of fish.

Parenting means growing with the child; and this includes constantly adapting newer methods of interaction with your child.

Just ask any parent who is horribly sleep deprived from having a wakeful newborn or older what they wouldn't give for a "magic pill".

Then there's the sassy age, the lying age, the sneaky age, the teen age, etc., etc., And before you know it, they are away soaring, on their own. You look back and wonder, when did this happen? Where did the years go?

How did you handle your children when: they suffered from an ear infection and you had to administer the medicine via syringe? My toddler is suffering from a cold which subsequently caused an ear infection and she fights like a mountain lion because she refuses to take it. Stressed out as I was, I knew that if I did not administer her the medicine that I would be doing her more harm than good. Why with all the advancements in modern technology, can there not be for example: an amoxicillin spray that can be squirted into the child's mouth?/Just Asking - seoul62.......
