💾 Save this post for when you're ready to talk with kids and teens about taking and storing medicine. 💊 Because something as "harmless" as taking more Midol when cramps don't get better could lead to serious injury or even death. ⚠️ The bottom line? Little ones should ONLY take medicine from a trusted adult. And older kids should always ask an adult before taking medicine. Store meds up, away and out of sight to be safe. But even with safe storage, curious kids and teens practicing independence can get their hands on potentially dangerous meds. That's why it's important to talk about reading labels, taking the right dose and knowing what to do in case of an emergency. #PoisonPreventionWeek
