What medicine would you recommend when a kid gets a fever and stuff like that?

And tips for calming kids down when they get into a strop or getting them out of a sulk?

And can you really get kids to eat green food?!

Cheers

Sounds like Flock has it REALLY well sussed.

Say what you like about Flock, he's a modern day Confucious.

Predictable

I messed that bit up, what i meant was if theyre shaking but have a fever you can cover the up but you're not supposed to if they start sweating.

Also, if they're thirsty get them a drink, but if not take it away.

EDIT: Oh, I thought the "predictable" comment was aimed at me. Ignore.

Kids eat green food all the time, organically grown in their nostrils.

Calpol is what I swear byy, but if they're older kids then you can use any of the kids medicines on the chemist shelf, even kids paracetamol.

But you're saying it isn't for sale there?

Getting kids out of a mood is a long process that takes time. They usually go into a mood or sulk to get attention, so ensuring they don't get attention is the best way.

Eating Greens? Just don't give them a choice, it's greens or nothing. If it's really bad, you can make them more fun by mixing them with other things, such as basting them in breadcrumbs and grilling them...

I still have Calpol.
Well, there's a bottle in the medicine cupboard that must have been there for about 10 years and never seems to run out.

Nothing a good chug of Calpol won't solve.
