When Medicine Time Turns Into a Battle: Parenting a Strong-Willed Toddler

Last night, my 3-year-old absolutely refused to take her medicine. She clamped her mouth shut, turned her head, and tears welled up in her eyes. I felt so helpless watching her struggle, knowing she needed it to feel better. We tried singing her favorite song, offering a special treat, and even letting her hold the spoon herself. Eventually, after lots of patience and hugs, she took it—one tiny sip at a time. It reminded me how challenging these small moments can be, but also how much love and creativity parenting requires.
