Feeling nervous about the new school year is normal for both kids and parents.

Some worry is expected, but if your child experiences trouble sleeping, frequent tummy aches, or major clinginess, it could be anxiety. Start routines early, talk openly about their feelings, and validate their concerns. Small steps like visiting the school beforehand and letting them pick out fun items off their school list can make a big difference.

What’s your child most excited (or nervous) about for the new year?

Share below – we’d love to hear from you.

Too much screen time can impact your child’s sleep, focus, and behavior.

A few healthy limits to create for your family include setting a family media plan with clear rules, designating screen-free zones (like bedrooms and dinner tables), balance screen time with outdoor play and reading, and model healthy habits yourself.

Want personalized tips for your child’s age? Well visits are a great time to discuss screen time and internet safety with your child’s provider. Call Columbus Pediatric Associates today to schedule an appointment.

Back-to-school season is right around the corner, and a little prep now can go a long way.

From catching up on annual checkups and sports physicals to making sure your child’s vaccines are up to date, we’re here to help your family start the school year strong. It's also a great time to talk about sleep schedules, mental health, and any concerns you may have about focus or classroom readiness.

Hot days mean higher risk for dehydration.

Keep kids hydrated with these tips:
- Offer water often
- Serve water-rich fruits like watermelon and oranges.
- Seek shade when possible
- Use fun cups or straws to encourage drinking.
- Watch for signs of dehydration: dry lips, less urine, or fatigue.
- Include hydration drinks like Pedialyte or zero-sugar options such as Gatorade.

Our nurses are here to help answer any questions you have about keeping your child hydrated this summer. Send us a message today through your child’s secure portal.

Not sure if it's a bite or a sting?

Here’s a quick guide:

- Bug bites: usually small, red, and itchy. Common with mosquitoes or ants.

- Stings: often more painful with immediate swelling. Watch for allergic reactions like difficulty breathing or hives. Anaphylaxis reaction to insect sting should be seen in the emergency room for immediate care.

Call us if swelling spreads rapidly, your child has a fever, or the site looks infected.

Most insect bites will not get infected until 3-5 days after the bite.

If you are unsure if your child needs to be seen, send us a picture through your child’s secure portal for a provider to take a look.

Know the signs.

Early recognition can save a life.

Here are some red flags to watch for in teens: withdrawal from friends or activities they once enjoyed, changes in sleep or eating habits, talking about feeling hopeless or like a burden, giving away belongings or saying goodbye, sudden changes in mood or behavior, or a sudden drop in grades.

If you see these signs, don’t wait.

Call us, talk to a mental health professional, or contact the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Did your child spend a little too much time in the sun?

Sunburns can be painful and harmful to young skin. Use cool compresses, apply aloe vera or child-safe lotion, and keep them well hydrated. If blisters appear, fever develops, or the burn covers a large area, give us a call. Some cases of sunburn need medical intervention.

As you and your family enjoy the long summer days, remember to apply at least 30 SPF and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming.

Need guidance on what type of sunscreen to use? Call us to get some recs.

Summer freedom often means later bedtimes, but sleep routines still matter. Kids thrive on consistency, even during vacation.

Try keeping wake-up and bedtime within an hour of their usual school-year schedule. A calming bedtime routine and screens off 1 hour before sleep can make a big difference.

Need help managing sleep concerns?

Schedule a visit – we’re here to help your child rest easy.
