Kids vs. Magnesium Gummies: Candy or Chore?
Okay so I bought those magnesium gummies for my sleep (I'm a student, need all the help I can get lol). I left the bottle on the counter and my 6-year-old found it. He thought they were candy and begged for some. I told him no, they're for adults, but he kept sneaking them! Caught him with a handful yesterday. They're not toxic but I freaked out. Anyone else have this issue? How do you store them so kids don't get into them?
Haha classic! My wife does the same thing with my protein gummies. She says they taste like candy and can't resist. But seriously, for kids, I'd get a lockbox or something. Or hide them in a high cabinet. Out of sight, out of mind. But also, maybe talk to your pediatrician? Better safe than sorry.
Great topic! As a wellness influencer, I always emphasize child safety. Those gummies look so much like candy it's a design flaw. I recommend using a pill organizer with a child-proof lid, or even a small safe. Also, consider getting gummies with a less appealing shape, like bears vs. cubes? Just a thought. But glad you caught it!
Tell me about it! My son refuses to eat the magnesium gummies because he says they're 'too chewy' but he'll eat any other candy. Kids are weird. I just keep them in my nightstand drawer. He knows not to touch. But yeah, high shelf works. Also, maybe try a different brand with a softer texture? Some are more jelly-like.
