What your child eats during the school day plays a big role in their focus, energy, and mood. A balanced lunch doesn’t have to be complicated, it just needs the right building blocks.

Pro tip: Involve your child in the process! Let them pick a fruit or veggie to include each day. When kids help build their lunch, they’re more likely to eat it!

August heat is no joke. especially for kids practicing outdoors.

Sometimes teens need to talk to someone who isn’t a parent, and that’s okay!

Talking with a therapist gives them a safe, judgment-free space to process what they’re feeling. It’s not about replacing support at home, it’s about adding to it.

We’re here when they’re ready!

An overloaded or poorly adjusted backpack can lead to back pain, posture issues, and muscle strain, especially for kids who are still growing.

To help prevent injury, make sure their backpack weighs no more than 10 to 15 percent of their body weight, sits high on the back, and is worn using both shoulder straps.

Bumps and bruises are part of being a kid, but head injuries need extra attention.

Concussions can be serious, even when symptoms seem mild at first. If your child takes a hit to the head during sports or other play, watch for signs like confusion, dizziness, headache, or nausea.
