Great reminders on feelings

It’s okay to have a bad day.

We all have days that feel a little off and that’s okay. What matters most is what you tell yourself after a tough day.

Be kind to yourself. Prioritize your mental wellness.

Don’t beat yourself up — speak gently to yourself and practice positive affirmations that lift you up.

Small reminders (like these spooky-season affirmations!) can help you reset and refocus.

Routine lead checks occur at the 1 year and 2 year well visits. Sometimes checks need to occur more often and if your child has had elevated lead levels, checks every 3 months are needed coordinated with public health. Read more about how nutrition helps to absorb less lead 👍

Lead is particularly dangerous to children because their growing bodies absorb more lead than adults do and their brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead.
This brochure from the EPA provides information on lead's effects on the body, the main sources of lead, action steps to protect against lead hazards, and meal and snack ideas (many of which contain foods offered in the WIC food packages) that provide nutrients of particular importance: calcium, iron and vitamin C.
These nutrients help the body absorb less lead and are part of a healthy diet.

When staying home to rest and take fluids is best!!

Fall is here and unfortunately all the nasty seasonal viruses are here, too. Here’s a simple flow chart to help you determine when your child needs to stay home from school. Most kids with a cold or stomach bug will recover on their own with some extra rest and fluids and do not need to be seen by a doctor, but you should call your pediatrician right away if your child has difficulty breathing, blue lips or nails, extreme fatigue, or is showing signs of dehydration.
