My middle son couldn't swallow pills until he was over 20.

My youngest son (9 years his junior) saw that and determined to be able to swallow them without water when he was just FIVE. (I know, taking pills without water is wrong. Try telling that to the testosterone.)

It is psychological, mostly. The most important thing to tell her is that she *WILL* be able to, eventually, and even if she never does, what harm is it, really? There are workarounds for almost every medication.
