Serious love... a couple of treats... and a movie that is only watched on special occasions. Plus, a mini massage at night with delicious smelling organic essential oils.

Whenever my son is feeling bad I try to take his mind off of being sick. We usually play some board games or Go fish. We also like to relax and watch a movie. I also like to give him alot of fluid and offer him popsicles. When my son has a cold and needs relief I also like Vicks Vapor Rub. It really helps him to breath better.

For getting rid of the cold and cough try this one!..... it works wonders
How to prepare Turmeric milk:
1. Take a glass of milk
2. Add sugar to taste
3. Add half a teaspoon of turmeric powder
4. Bring it to a boil
5. Filter the milk and give it to your Kid.

Let you kid have this milk just before going to bed , then rub a little Vicks Vaporub on his/her chest , put a blanket on him/her and put them to sleep.
Turmeric has a lot of medicinal value and is a significant component in many ayurvedic medicines.

I get my kids whatever makes them feel better and loved! A cool cloth for their forehead always works best and maybe a cold strip and a fave DVD :D
