Dad disguised his daughter to take medicine with watermelon. Is it advisable to do so?

Parents take great pains to let their children take medicine. Although this method can really make children take medicine, I don't think parents should use this method to deceive their children. Because children are relatively young and their cognition of things is not comprehensive enough, parents' routines may plant seeds of doubt in their children's hearts, and when she grows up, her cognition will be completely overthrown.

Recently, a video on the Internet became popular. In order to make his daughter willing to drink bitter medicine, a father cut half a watermelon, carved an empty place in the middle, then hid the medicine bowl inside, covered a small piece of watermelon, and inserted a straw on the watermelon for his daughter to drink. The little daughter mistakenly thought that her father wanted her to drink sweet watermelon juice, but she didn't expect it to be medicine. But at a young age, she could only see that it was not watermelon, and she couldn't tell why, so she had to continue drinking, so she drank the whole bowl of medicine with doubts.

In fact, I understand parents very well. Children are sensitive to taste and don't like hardship, so they have to take medicine every time they get sick, which is a headache. Giving medicine to children is really a headache, but I think parents, especially novice parents, should adopt scientific and reasonable feeding methods when giving medicine to their children.

If the child is in a good mood, it is also a good habit to discuss with him and let him take medicine by himself, and let him take medicine by himself with encouragement. If the child is very resistant to some bitter drugs, you can distract him with some toys and so on, and then feed the child bite by bite. However, if the child is still crying and does not eat after being beaten, parents should not force him to wait until he calms down before feeding the child.

It is interesting to use watermelon as a disguise to give medicine to children, but parents are advised to give medicine to their children in a scientific way.
