🧠 Did you know…?

According to the CDC, about 1 in 5 U.S. children has a diagnosed mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder- but only 20% receive care from a mental health provider. That’s why emotional wellness and stress relief at home are so important.

On this National Relaxation Day, try simple, healthy routines to support your child’s emotional development:
• Wind-down time before bed to reduce overstimulation
• Breathing exercises to manage stress
• Quiet activities like journaling or reading to improve focus

Relaxation reduces anxiety, improves sleep, and supports healthy emotional regulation- especially in kids navigating school, screen time, and social stress.

Is social media affecting your teen’s mental health?

Studies have shown that excessive social media use is linked to higher levels of anxiety and depression in teens. In fact, research from the American Psychological Association reveals that 1 in 3 teens report feeling stressed by social media, with over 40% saying it negatively impacts their mental health. The constant pressure to compare themselves to others and the overwhelming amount of content on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat can increase feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and loneliness.

Social media is also associated with disrupted sleep patterns, which can further exacerbate anxiety. A study by the University of Pittsburgh found that teens who spend more than three hours a day on social media are more likely to experience sleep disturbances, which can lead to increased stress and a higher risk of anxiety. The cycle of late-night scrolling and fear of missing out (FOMO) can leave teens feeling drained and overwhelmed.

As a parent, it’s important to have open conversations about the role of social media in your teen’s life. Set healthy boundaries by limiting screen time, encouraging breaks from social media, and promoting offline activities such as hobbies, exercise, and face-to-face social interactions.

If you’re concerned about your teen’s mental health or notice signs of anxiety, don’t hesitate to seek professional guidance. There are many resources available, and early intervention can make a significant difference.

The providers at Lone Star Kids Care are here to help so call today to schedule an appointment for your teen.

Knowing how to report suspected child abuse is essential in protecting children.

If you suspect a child is being harmed, here’s what you can do:

~ 📞 Call 911 if the child is in immediate danger.
~ 📲 Contact Child Protective Services (CPS): Each state has a hotline to report abuse or neglect. In Texas, you can call 1-800-252-5400 or report online at txabusehotline.org.
~ 📝 Provide detailed information when reporting—details like the child’s name, age, location, and what you witnessed help authorities respond quickly and effectively.

You can also contact our office if you’re unsure what to do or have concerns about a child’s well-being. We’re here to help.

Summer fun is just around the corner!

Pool safety is one of the most important things families should discuss prior to the start of summer. No matter if your grade school child is a strong swimmer or not, parents can take extra steps to ensure a child’s safety.

🏊‍♂️ Pool Safety Tips:
- Always supervise children around water.
- Ensure your child wears a properly fitting life jacket if they’re not strong swimmers.
- Teach your child to swim and understand basic water safety rules.
- Set up clear safety boundaries at the pool (like no running).
- Make sure everyone knows how to react in an emergency.
- If possible, have one adult assigned per child to keep an eye out.

If you need any further guidance on pool safety, our staff is here to answer your questions. Call our office or send a portal message to request more information.

There’s nothing sweeter than a baby’s first coo or giggle- these early sounds are more than adorable; they’re key signs of healthy development.

Here’s what to know about your baby’s social and communication milestones in the first few months:

😊 Smile – Usually appears around 6–8 weeks as your baby starts responding to faces and voices

🗨️ Coo – Often begins by 6–8 weeks, when babies start to experiment with vowel-like sounds

😄 Laugh – Typically heard around 3–4 months as your baby responds to playful interaction

These early milestones help us understand how your baby is connecting, engaging, and growing. Your child’s provider will assess these during every well visit to make sure they’re on track.

📞 Call today to schedule your baby’s next appointment—we’re here to support you at every step.
