Easter vacation is here!
What are the children doing for the holiday?
Remember to try to limit screen time and encourage outdoor activities.
Some things children may like:
-Try planting a small vegetable garden. Children love to see how things grow and feel a sense of accomplishment if they eat what they have planted
-Plan a family game night. Playing together can be lots of fun but can also help in your child’s development as they solve problems, learn to communicate with each other and work together
-Get children in the kitchen learning to make healthy snacks. Children are more inclined to eat a healthy choice if they have a hand in making it
-Try making your own kites and flying them together. Small or large, kites bring joy to children as they see their creation go floating up in the air
So, what are your children doing this holiday? Let us know in the comments and send pictures
Remember that the best thing you can spend on your children is time!
Have a great vacation

The time for the SEA exam has arrived once again, bringing with it a significant amount of stress for both children and their families. As parents and guardians, it's understandable to feel anxious about the SEA exam, as we often view our children's successes and failures as reflections of our own parenting abilities.

Remember to bring your child for their health checkup after the exam, as we help you get them ready for the high school stage of their lives.

Give us a call at 645-9605 or email us at info@frontierkidscare.com and we will be happy to make the appointment for you.

MEASLES IN THE NEWS
There has been a recent increase in hospitalizations for measles and one reported death in the United States.

Measles is a highly contagious disease worldwide, with infants being particularly vulnerable to severe symptoms. Vaccination is the most effective method for preventing infection by the measles virus. Two doses are required: the first should be administered at 1 year of age, and the second at 2 years of age.

At Frontier Kids Care, routine immunizations as well as additional optional vaccinations are provided. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding your child’s immunization. Assistance is available. We use some techniques to ease the pain and distress of injections and of course, our lollipops help children leave happy!

For more information on measles, please visit the American Academy of Pediatrics website: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/how-to-protect-your-children-during-a-measles-outbreak.aspx

Frontier Kids Care offers Hemoglobin screening, a finger stick test to see if your child may have anemia.

What is anemia?
Anemia is when there aren't enough healthy red blood cells in the body.
There are different kinds of anemia, so treatments vary and can include medicines and dietary changes.

Some common symptoms:
At first, children with iron-deficiency anemia may not have any symptoms. When symptoms do happen,
a child might:
 look pale
 be very tired
 feel dizzy or lightheaded
 have a fast heartbeat
 want to eat ice or non-food items (called pica)

If you have any questions, call us at 645-9605 or email us at info@frontierkidscare.com and we would be happy to help you

Sextortion…
Recently, we’ve been seeing reports linking it to tragic cases of teenage suicides.
So what is it?
It's when someone is coerced into sending explicit images online and extorted for additional explicit material or money. It's quite common in this tech-driven world, where our teens spend so much of their time on electronic devices.

So how can you help?
1. Talk! Talk! Talk! Ensure your children are aware of the dangers that exist and reassure them that they can come and talk to you about any issues they face at any time. Keep the conversation going!
2. Be aware of the websites your teens visit and the individuals they befriend online.
3. Watch for changes in behaviour such as poor grades in a child previously doing well at school, or if they suddenly become more sullen and withdrawn than normal.
If you have any concerns about your child, call us to make an appointment at 645-9605 or email us at info@frontierkidscare.com and we will be happy to help you.

These are things we hear every day from many of our parents.
We just want to offer some guidelines for screen time in young children
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children under 2 years, need hands on exploration and social interaction to help with their optimal growth and development. Screens at this age can possibly hinder their language and social development.
As children get older, there are interactive sites that can help them to learn but these are usually best done with parental involvement and for short periods only
Excessive screen time at any age can affect behaviour, development and health in both the short and long term.
