Be Positively Prepared For Back To School This Season!

I have received information and materials from JOHNSON & JOHNSON CONSUMER, Inc., McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division, LLC. The opinions stated are my own. This is a #PositivelyPrepared #BacktoSchool sponsored post. #CollectiveBias

Can you believe it’s already time to stock up for getting the kids back to school? With lists galore, we all gather up our pencils, backpacks, lunchboxes, and clothes. But I don’t feel fully prepared for everything, until I’ve restocked my go-to hand tote with products to keep us healthy, happy, and on-track this back to school season! 

And just what does this bin deliver? Tucked away in the hall linen closet (away from the kids); I stocked Ultra Strength BENGAY® Cream and regular strength TYLENOL®. I also tuck in vitamin infused suckers, and a bottle each of of Children’s TYLENOL®, Children’s MOTRIN®. All to ensure that we stay on track tackling our return to the classroom.

So while on a recent trip to Target®, I made sure to stop by the Healthcare section near the pharmacy to pick up three staples I was out of. That included:

• Ultra Strength BENGAY® Cream
  • Temporarily relieves the minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with: simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises and sprains.
  • For adults and children 12 years and older.
• Children’s MOTRIN®
  • Help your kids bounce back by relieving their pain or fever with Children’s MOTRIN®. For high fever, nothing works faster or lasts longer.✝ Among OTC brands. Lasts up to 8 hours.
  • Temporarily: reduces fever; relieves minor aches and pains due to: the common cold, flu, headache, sore throat, & toothache.
  • Available as Bubble Gum, Grape and Berry flavors.
  • For Children ages 2 to 11 years.
• Children’s TYLENOL®
  • TYLENOL® — #1 Pediatrician Recommended Brand for Pain & Fever and Used by Moms for Over 60 years.
  • Children’s TYLENOL® works differently than other pain and fever medicine. It also won’t upset little stomachs.
  • Temporarily: reduces fever; relieves minor aches and pains due to: the common cold, flu, headache, sore throat, & toothache.
  • Available as Cherry Blast and Grape flavors.
  • For Children ages 2 to 11 years.

With these great products purchased, I returned home to add them into my tote. Which also does a great job for holding the dosing cups. Ready for great grape and bubble gum flavors, these cups stay handy now. And with both Children’s TYLENOL®, Children’s MOTRIN® using the same pre-measured dosing cup? I always know I’m using the medicine as directed.

Some mornings, all you need is a bit of sweet motivation. With 100% daily vitamin C per serving, these organic pops are often all the kids (or I) need to keep rolling out the door on time. They also help with added protection during the inevitable classroom sniffles and colds that can occur. Which for general ills, I find that either the  Children’s TYLENOL® or Children’s MOTRIN® is perfect for helping the kids feel better fast.

Not to mention two additional user friendly aspects. One is that they are great tasting. Which for parents who are using this as directed, you’ll have no worries of kids sipping down the recommended age-based dosage. Which leads me to the other, being that both are easy to dispense.

And what does the tote hold for Mom? The worst I typically have to deal with is whine-induced headaches. Which my TYLENOL® gel caps calm. And Ultra Strength BENGAY® Cream relieves the stress related muscle aches. A non-greasy cream, I can rub this on to my neck and upper back when I get tantrum-inspired tension headaches.

And now it’s your turn to get positively prepared with the right pain relief for you and your family at Target too! What are your over-the-counter staples that keep you on track? And please take a minute to comment below and tell me how you prepare to keep the whole family healthy this time of year!
