“Text me when you get there, not while you’re driving.” Make it clear to your teen they shouldn’t use the phone while in the driver’s seat. Parents, you’re in control and you make the rules.

Middle childhood brings many changes in a child’s life. Having independence from family becomes more important now. Events such as starting school bring children this age into regular contact with the larger world. Friendships become more important. Physical, social, and mental skills develop quickly at this time. This is a critical time for children to develop confidence in all areas of life, such as through friends, schoolwork, and sports. Here is a quick positive parenting tip to help you support your child during this time:

HELP YOUR CHILD SET THEIR OWN ACHIEVABLE GOALS — THEY WILL LEARN TO TAKE PRIDE IN THEMSELVES AND RELY LESS ON APPROVAL OR REWARD FROM OTHERS.

Timing matters when it comes to immunizations. Just like kids have developmental stages, their immune systems have stages too and vaccines work best when their bodies are ready to respond.

Baby reflux is a common condition where stomach contents come back up into a baby's esophagus. Reflux usually resolves by itself by 12-18 months. If reflux causes trouble feeding or breathing, it is called GERD. Serious complications of GERD are rare. Review this post for more information and always contact your child's pediatrician for questions or concerns.

Parents often complain that their child is not gaining weight and worry that there is some underlying medical reason. On the other hand, many parents are sometimes not aware that their child is falling on the growth chart until they are seen by their pediatrician. Poor weight gain becomes a problem when a child falls below the third percentile for weight on more than one consecutive measurement or if their weight declines and crosses at least two major percentile lines. When this happens, the child is now described as “failure to thrive” or FTT.

Review this overview of FTT and always reach out to your child's pediatrician if you have any questions or concerns.

07/16/2025

Reasoning and Proof relates to children’s ability to develop mathematical arguments for ways to solve a problem that are grounded in their previous understandings. When reasoning, children are looking for patterns or structures within problems that relate to patterns or structures that they have previously mastered. For example, a three-year-old child counting by 10s saying, “I know that forty comes after thirty because four comes after three.” The child reasons about a mathematical structure that was previously understood (three comes before four) and proves that 40 comes after 30 when counting by 10 based on their understanding of this structure.

Here are some examples of reasoning and proof in play and how you, as a caregiver, can support it.
