Brief Answer:
vitamins

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
There are many appropriate vitamins sold over the counter for this age group. I do not recommend doubling the gummy vit dosage. You should be able to find age appropriate vitamins at your local pharmacy. If you have trouble finding them, you can ask the pharmacist. You may wany to consider bringing your daughter along so she can help pick from the choices.
