What is the best way to get your son to drink his milk?

Put it on the table: Although milk products have long been touted as a great way to "get your calcium", there are other sources of calcium as well. If junior is eating meat and green vegetables, cheese, yogurt, pudding and/or ice cream, he's probably getting adequate calcium. It's not worth arguing about. If you're still worried about his intake, give him a daily vitamin d and a calcium carbonate antacid tablet daily.

Make it fun: Don't fight over milk. Put it out as the beverage with meals, possibly in a small and appealing children's themed cup. In this situation a "treat" of a spoonful of chocolate or strawberry syrup may be helpful.
