Fish oil kids

frnchfry81 Posts: 301 Joined: 2006/12/02	2007/02/12, 10:39 AM I have bought my fish oil and had planned for the family to start to start taking it. BUT, The problem is the pills are huge I couldn't find any that were smaller. Is it possible for a child (8) to swallow these pills. And how in the world do I talk them into it. They look at me like I've gone crazy. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Trish -------------- A** kissing only works if you know which one to kiss.

You'll have the added advantage of introducing them to healthy "whole" foods. I find it hard enough taking the pills myself everyday, so I couldn't see forcing my kids to take them. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there. -------------- The harder you fall, the higher you bounce

I am in the process of trying to introduce all of us to the healthier foods. But not all of us especially the kids are open to this. Though they have had to adjust because its what is in the house. Thanks for the help. Trying to force these kids to do anything is not an option. The are to stubborn to FORCE. LOL -------------- A** kissing only works if you know which one to kiss.

I think you're after the Omega 3's, so you could buy things that are supplimented with it, like eggs, milk etc. Nuts are a good source as well. Flax seed can also be added to things like yogurt and cereal and even muffins. I routinely cook with olive oil now and use it for my salad dressing etc.
