DYK? If you’ve recently had a respiratory illness, you should still stay up to date with your vaccines.

Getting vaccinated for these illnesses supports your immune system once your antibodies start to wane from when you were sick.

Make sure you are fully recovered from your illness before you make an appointment. Remember that you might still be able to spread the germs that caused your illness, even after you start to feel better.

For COVID-19, you may consider waiting up to 3 months after infection to receive your vaccine dose. Talk to your doctor to see what’s right for you.

Cooking with your kids is beneficial in so many ways - it not only helps them learn new skills, such as following recipes, but allows them feel a sense of accomplishment as they engage in meal preparation from start to finish. Introducing these skills to your kids can help them establish self-confidence at such an early age!

Your child’s growing independence from the family and interest in friends might be obvious by now. Healthy friendships are very important to your child’s development, but peer pressure can become strong during this time. Children who feel good about themselves are more able to resist negative peer pressure and make better choices. Here is a positive parenting quick tip to help you support your 9 to 11-year-old during this time:

BE AFFECTIONATE AND HONEST WITH YOUR CHILD AND DO THINGS TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.

As children get older, parents may start to notice that the afternoon nap has a noticeable impact on nighttime sleep. A common saying is “sleep begets sleep” (meaning that the better a child sleeps during the day, the better they will sleep at night) but this seems to run counter to our experiences as parents. Most parents report that when their child takes a long or late nap during the day, they have trouble falling asleep at night and when they skip a nap, they fall asleep at the dinner table.

A review study published in 2014 found that napping during the day is consistently linked to falling asleep later at night as well as decreased sleep duration and quality of sleep at night. In other words, children who nap tend to go to sleep later at night and sleep for a shorter time and more poorly at night than children who do not nap. However, this association was strongest for children over the age of 2 years, suggesting that naps may only significantly impact nighttime sleep for children over 2.

Another recent study examined napping in 1.5-year-old children and how naps impacted nighttime sleep. The researchers found that the longer toddlers nap during the day, the later they went to sleep at night and the less time they slept at night overall. The timing of the nap also seemed to have a significant impact with late afternoon naps disturbing sleep to a greater extent. In other words, it may not be napping in itself that disrupts nighttime sleep but napping for longer or later in the day.

TRANSLATION: A shorter nap in the early afternoon may help if your child struggles with nighttime sleep. However, if your child is napping well and sleeping well at night, there is no reason to cut their nap short or skip it altogether.
