Our kids are always watching what we do. They see how we treat others.
They observe how we handle stress. It's easy to think they
aren't paying attention, but they are taking it all in,
including our attitudes and behavior around medicine.
Modeling matters when it comes to your child's ideas of safety
regarding prescription and over-the-counter medication. From a very
early age, they may be curious about medicine bottles in your home.
You can demonstrate that medicine is something you only take when
you're sick, like when you have a fever or an earache.
As they grow older, avoid joking about or taking the use of any
medication lightly, whether it's over-the-counter cough medicine
or anti-anxiety pills. Also, if you, a family member or anyone in your
home is prescribed medications, call out how you're using them
as directed and safely dispose of expired or unwanted medication.

If you're a health care professional or educator, there's
a role for you, too. Help protect your patients and students from the
risks of medication misuse.
