Summer fun is here, but don’t forget: staying hydrated is key to keeping your children safe and feeling their best in the heat!
Here are some important hydration tips to keep in mind for those sunny days:

1. Water is always the top choice. Offer water frequently throughout the day, especially if your kids are playing outside.
2. If plain water isn’t cutting, it, fry infusing it with fruits like lemon, cucumber or berries. It’s a fun way to add a splash of flavor.
3. Foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges are packed with wither and will help your kids stay hydrated AND energized.
4. While juice, soda and sugary drinks can be tempting, they can actually make your kids more dehydrated. Stick to water or milk for the best hydration boost!
5. Help your kids build the habit of drinking water before, during, and after physical activities like biking, swimming, or playing outside. A fun water bottle can make the process even more exciting!
6. When outside, ensure your kids take plenty of shade breaks and wear lightweight, breathable clothing. Keep them cool and comfortable!

Summer is the perfect time to encourage your child to dive into the world of books. Reading just 15-20 minutes a day can help prevent the "summer slide" and boost vocabulary, imagination, and emotional development.
For toddlers: Choose books with bright pictures and lots of repetition.
For early readers: Let them pick fun stories that spark curiosity.
For older kids: Try setting a summer reading goal!

Swimming season is here and for a lot of people that means battling episodes of swimmer's ear (otitis externa).
Here are some tips to help prevent your family from getting swimmer's ear this summer!:
*After swimming or bathing, gently dry your child's ears with a towel. Tip their head side to side to let water drain out, or use a hair dryer on the cool setting held at a safe distance.
*Use over-the-counter drying drops if approved by your pediatrician.
*Avoid sticking anything in the ear-no cotton swabs, fingers, or anything else in the ear canal.
*Encourage kids to take breaks between swims to let their ears dry out.
