When my daughter was an infant-we would always crush the Florinef up and put it in her applesauce. But, by age 2 - she would just chew them up, (that was her choice). I think letting her make the choice was the key. Also, regarding the medic-alert bracelet - she wore it as an ankle bracelet and all of her little friends would think it was cool to have an ankle bracelet. However,when she started kindergarten, she switched it to her wrist because she noticed so many other kids with medic alert bracelets on and she wanted to be like them. Good Luck!
