💚 Every Kid Healthy Week 💚

This week, we celebrate the importance of children’s health and wellness. From nutritious meals and regular check-ups to daily movement, every step helps kids grow strong, happy, and resilient.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends at least 1 hour of physical activity each day and limiting recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day to help support healthy development. Small daily habits can make a big difference.

Need snack inspiration beyond Goldfish crackers? Try healthy options like fresh fruit with yogurt dip, apple slices with peanut butter, or veggies with hummus.

Our team is proud to support families in creating healthy habits that last a lifetime.

ADHD can affect a child’s ability to focus, manage impulses, and regulate energy levels—often impacting both school performance and daily life. While every child is different, early understanding and support can make a meaningful difference. 💙

Symptoms may include difficulty staying on task, frequent fidgeting, forgetfulness, or acting without thinking. These behaviors are not intentional, and with the right care, children can learn strategies to thrive at home and in the classroom. 📚

Families in North Chicago and surrounding communities can turn to Lake Forest Pediatric Associates for compassionate, board-certified pediatric care focused on diagnosing and managing ADHD in children.

If your child is displaying symptoms of ADHD in northern Illinois, contact Lake Forest Pediatrics today to schedule an appointment.

Academic pressure is something many children and teens are experiencing more intensely than ever before. While a healthy level of challenge can support growth, too much stress can begin to affect a child’s emotional well-being, confidence, and overall mental health. 📚💙

Our latest article explores how school stress can develop into anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm—and what parents can watch for, including sleep changes, irritability, perfectionism, and withdrawal from activities they once enjoyed.

We invite you to read the full article from Lake Forest Pediatric Associates to better understand how to support your child through academic pressure with care and balance.

On World Autism Awareness Day, we take a moment to recognize and support individuals and families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction, and it exists on a wide and unique spectrum for every individual. 💙

Understanding and early awareness can make a meaningful difference. While every child experiences autism differently, early identification and individualized care can help support growth, learning, and development in a positive way.

The caring pediatric team at Lake Forest Pediatric Associates is committed to helping families understand developmental concerns and guiding them through the diagnostic and care process with compassion and expertise. 🌟

April’s Book Club pick from Dr. Keating is Wonder by R.J. Palacio. In this book, we follow the 5th grade experience of 10 yr old Auggie, who was born with a severe craniofacial difference. Not only do we hear Auggie’s perspective on the unique challenges he faces due to his appearance, but also the view from his family and friends. This is a great book to read alongside your 9-12 year old. It will remind you of the complicated emotions that emerge at this age when children are becoming more self aware and doing their best to fit in. It will help your child gain empathy as they see a story told from different perspectives. Best of all, you will certainly both cheer on Auggie and always remember the brilliant message: “When given the choice between right or being kind, Choose Kind.” Dr. Keating and her daughters met the author when they book came out and it is a favorite family memory! have this great read in stock
