    Because children should not be in charge of administering their own medicine without adult supervision.

    Because even though the are gentle enough for children drinking an entire bottle would do damage to a child

    If you have a child you know they would attempt to drink the whole bottle only because you told them to never do it so typically you would want to put it in a cabinet above the refrigerator or very high and hidden from sight

    So they don't take the wrong dosage.

    cause they're so toxic they could injure or kill, which should make you think twice about why anyone would be stupid enough to give them to a child in the first place.
