  • Do not take your medicine by yourself unless your parents have given you permission.  It is easy to get confused and you could make a mistake.
  • Never take your medicine in front of a younger brother or sister.  They are copy-cats and if they see you take medicine, they will want some too...and that could be a poison for them.
  • Make sure your vitamins are kept out of reach from a younger brother and sister.  You are only supposed to take 1 a day unless your doctor tells you to take more.  The baby might eat a whole bunch if they think they are candy.
  • NEVER take someone else’s medicine.  That could be dangerous!
