Is It Okay If My Kid Misses a Dose?
Share
Intro:
No parent is perfect! Sometimes, you’ll forget to give your child their vitamins — but is it a big deal?
Body:
Relax — research shows that missing an occasional dose of a daily supplement won’t drastically affect nutrient status (Allen et al., 2009). Just pick up the routine again as soon as possible.
Never double up the next day without medical advice — more isn’t always better!
✅ Practical Tips:
-
Use a daily supplement chart or pill organizer for kids.
-
Set a phone reminder to stay on track.
-
Celebrate consistency — small streaks build healthy habits.
Closing:
Missing a dose is okay — just get back on track and keep it fun!
