Michele--It is a never ending story with us, isn't it?!? Connor (almost 3 yrs old) gets his Cortef tablets at 7am, 3pm, and 11pm. I put it in his mouth at 11pm, (while he is sleeping), tickle his cheek a little, and he chews it right up. He just senses something in his mouth and starts chewing. It disolves quickly, too, so I don't worry about him choking.
