嫌がる薬の飲ませ方｜How to Take Dislike Medicines｜2021/11/19

ムスメが熱を出した。病院で薬をもらったのだが、飲ませるのに一苦労。スポイトを使って口に入れるのだが、半分飲ませられれば良い方だ。手足をばたつかせ、頭を振ったり、口を固く閉じて抵抗する。さらに唾を出して泡泡攻撃をしたり泣いて叫ぶムスメとの戦いだ。ある日そのスポイトをムスメに渡すと嬉しそうに口の中に入れる。試しに薬を入れてると嬉しそうに飲むではないか。しかも一滴残さず。薬が嫌で抵抗していたのではなく、口に入れられることに抵抗してようだ。だから自分で口に入れるとなんだか得意気だ。よく考えたら薬という認識もないはずだ。もっと早く気づけばよかった。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）
My daughter got a fever. I got medicine at the hospital, and I had a hard time getting it to take. I use a dropper to put it in her mouth, but it's better if she can drink half of it. She resists by flapping her limbs, shaking her head, or closing her mouth tightly. Furthermore, it is a battle with her spitting and attacking with bubbles and crying and screaming. One day, when I handed the dropper to her, she gladly put it in her mouth. When I try it with medicine, she is happy to take it. Moreover, no drop is left. It seems that she resisted being put in her mouth, not because she hated the medicine. That's why she is good at putting it in her mouth. There is no recognition that it is a medicine in the first place. I should have noticed earlier. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
