School is back in full swing, which means the kids are picking up their books, backpacks… And a school full of everyone else’s germs. No matter how vigilant you are, your kids are undoubtedly going to have a few sick days along the way. In fact, the average school child will have 8-12 colds per year.

Having a sick day is no fun for anyone, but it’s especially rough on our little ones who just want to be up and playing. Here are a few things to have on hand ready for when the inevitable sick days happen, that are sure to have your kids feeling happier and healthier in no time.

What Kids Want When They Are Sick

Popsicles– soothing to the throat and fun to eat, make Popsicles a perfect remedy for the Sickies. Give your kids his favorite color to bring a little smile to his face

Bandaids– kids love Bandaids, even when the type of illness doesn’t warrant one. Go ahead and indulge them a little… Stick a bandaid on their sore tummy or sneezy nose just to say “I know it doesn’t feel good, and I want to help.”

Cups with Straws– if your kiddo is sick, you know that its important to keep him hydrated by drinking lots of liquids, however it can be the last a sick kid wants to do. Help make it fun, while easing the pain on his throat with a fun tumbler cup with a straw. It could be the refreshing change need to keep him refreshed!

A movie– when I”m not feeling good I just want to curl up and watch my favorite movies all day. My kids feel the same way! Pop in that DVD of their favorite movie and call it a movie day

Cuddles– when your kiddo is sick, everything else falls to wayside. Let the house be a mess and just spend the day snuggling with the little one. Magic cuddles from you make all the difference.

Meds that taste good– your child is already not feeling well, the last thing they have patience for is yucky tasting medicine. I just found out about a new cough and cold medicine specifically made for kids ages 4-13. This medicine, New Dr. Cocoa™ for Children offers a new option. Not only does it battle colds and coughs with its soothing daytime, nighttime and long-acting formulas made with a combination of effective dye-free ingredients, but it also tastes great. This is thanks to the fact that its the first-ever chocolate flavored cough and cold medicine line for child , made with 10% real cocoa for a real chocolate taste. Dr. Cocoa™ helps parents fight the cold and not their kids.
