🌞🏃‍♀️🏀 Summer is the perfect time to help your child develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime! In our "Healthy Habits" summer series, we're focusing on the importance of exercise and movement. Regular physical activity is crucial for children's overall health and well-being. It boosts their mood, enhances their physical development, and helps them sleep better. Here are 4 tips to help your child prioritize movement:

Make it Fun: Turn exercise into a game or a family activity. Go for a bike ride, play tag, or try a new sport together.
Set a Routine: Incorporate physical activity into your daily schedule. A morning walk or an evening dance session can become a fun tradition.
Limit Screen Time: Encourage more active play by reducing time spent on screens. Swap TV or video games for outdoor adventures.
Be a Role Model: Children are more likely to be active if they see their parents and caregivers leading an active lifestyle. Join in on the fun and stay active together!

We're continuing our summer series with the subject of dental hygiene. Good dental hygiene is crucial for lifelong health, as it helps prevent a range of issues from cavities and gum disease to more serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Here are 3 tips to help your child develop a lifetime of healthy dental habits:

1️⃣ Start brushing early – as soon as that first tooth appears.
2️⃣ Make brushing fun with a special toothbrush and toothpaste they love.
3️⃣ Encourage healthy eating habits to prevent cavities.
4️⃣ Schedule regular dental checkups to catch and address issues early.

"Small and useful, but potentially dangerous if young children get ahold of them, button batteries and lithium coin batteries can be found throughout the home: in remotes, key fobs, thermometers, and many other devices. If swallowed, a button battery or lithium coin battery can cause serious injury that can be life-threatening. Knowing what devices use these batteries, how to keep them out of reach of children, and acting quickly if your child swallows a small battery is a key part of household safety."

1. Acne is not caused by bad hygiene. Many parents express to me concerns that their teens are not good about washing their faces regularly. Although using the right cleanser can play a part in acne management, acne is caused principally by hormonal changes that change the skin in adolescence.

"One of the frequent questions pediatricians are asked in summer time is, 'How much water should we be drinking?' This is a difficult question to answer because it is not a one-size-fits- all approach. There are many factors that affect how much water someone should drink such as age, activity level, and climate." -Dr. Scoggin
