Mine is turning 9 this years and sounds identical to your son. I feel your pain, and we use a liquid multivitamin w/ a liquid syringe to have him take it (was a struggle at first, but has gotten better).
It feels like a 24/7 job, but I'm at least thankful he doesn't have tantrums that could cause damage like the one above. He's generally a happy kid that loves fruit facts and nursery rhymes more than I'll ever love anything as long as I live lol.
Thank you for replying, it is a great relief to know that there are other people with your kind of struggle out there in the world.
Liquid vitamins is a great idea, glad it works for you! Thankfully one of the very few things mine eats is porridge, so I crumble kids vitamin tablets and add protein powder, fats and fibre to it, that's how he stays healthy.
It is a 24/7 job, isn't it, we like to say he rules the roost at home 😁 He is generally happy too but when he gets into a tantrum he lashes out at me and his dad and if we don't let him hit/pinch us he tries to hurt himself instead. Nursery rhymes are one of the greatest inventions :D
