As a parent of three delightful children, I worry. It’s natural although sometimes irrational according to my husband. There’s not a day that goes by that a worrisome thought doesn’t cross my mind BUT I can ease some of my anxiety by helping my kids make great choices every day about their well-being. Here are a few things we do regularly to ensure the kids have a successful life.
Drink plenty of water – I must say that I’m pretty good about not having juice or pop in the house. It’s milk or water. Yes. They have chocolate milk on occasion. I mean I do too. And root beer floats. I mean we gotta live a little! But with as many sports as the kids play and how active they are their little bodies need a lot of hydration.
Eating healthy foods – We sure do try! I’m thankful my kids aren’t too picky and will eat what I fix (most of the time). They are pretty good about eating their leafy greens too which helps digestion.
Get a good nights rest. I always chuckle when my kids say they don’t want to sleep. I always think ‘just wait until you’re 30, that will all change!”.
Sixty-five percent of parents (of children aged 2 – 11) admit to treating their children’s constipation with an adult laxative, but there have been reports of sides effects in children, like behavioral and speech issues, resulting from one of the main ingredients in adult laxatives. Therefore, pediatric specialist, Dr. Nina Shapiro, urges parents to choose treatment options that are specifically made for children, like Pedia-Lax®.
Pedia-Lax® is the only pediatric brand offering a full line of laxative products that are fast, safe and specifically made just for kids to help support digestive health and ease constipation. Pedia-Lax® products are available in a variety of forms to meet a child’s specific needs.
Pedia-Lax® Chewable Tablets are formulated for kids ages 2-11, come in a tasty watermelon flavor and provide quick relief (within 30 minutes) and last up to 6 hours. They offer a gentle relief without the painful cramping sometimes associated with laxatives.

Drinking water is a tough one for our family, I have to remind myself to drink more too.
Sometimes it’s nice to have something on hand in those rough times. Little bodies are growing and changing so much, I can only imagine them feeling irregular.
