Parents, the other day I posted that there was an abundance of Influenza in the community and that it was all “Flu A.” I suspected that it would transition to “Flu B” in a few weeks (there really is no difference in the severity of the two, despite what the internet may say). Well, it happened much sooner than I expected. I diagnosed my first case of “Flu B” yesterday. Having previously contracted “Flu A” really doesn’t offer much protection from “Flu B.” I believe we may be in for another storm of influenza.

Parents, there is an abundance of influenza in the community. Currently most children are being diagnosed with “Flu A.” Soon, it will transition to “Flu B.” What is the difference? If you Google it, it will say Flu A is worse. In my experience that is not true. They each possess basically the same symptoms and severity. After an abundance of influenza, we will see other pathologies: Strept Throat, Allergic Rhinitis, Gastroenteritis and more. There is usually something always prevailing in the community, until summer, then it starts to taper off. In the summer, however, you see an up tick in Swimmer’s Ear, Poison Ivy, Plaground Injuries and more. It’s always something.

Parents, a lot of our kids got ice skates for Christmas and will want to put them to use as soon as possible. Determining lake and pond ice safety is some tricky stuff and I’m not certain anybody knows for sure how to assess it without actually drilling a small bore hole first (I’ve never seen that). There are a few things that can be done. Pond ice safety requires checking thickness (at least 4" for walking on clear ice), avoiding weak spots (dark areas, cracks, near dams/springs), and always going with a buddy, telling someone your plans, and bringing a phone. Never assume ice is safe; factors like water currents, salt from roads, temperature changes, recent rains, and other issues can affect it.

🎼Mom and Dad could hardly wait for school to start again🎼

Christmas is an exciting time for children and parents but once the gifts are unwrapped, the company and visiting is over, there is still a week of holiday school vacation to occupy your kid’s time. Here are some suggestions to make that time a little more enjoyable and productive for the children:

Encourage kids to read every day. Encourage reading on their devices by asking them to find out about current events, research holiday traditions, or take a deeper dive into their favorite hobbies. Introduce family favorites related to the holidays.

Involve them in after the holiday shopping. Teach children the importance of a budget and how to stick to it. How do sale prices affect the budget? Let them help with online shopping to sharpen those research and computer skills.

Keep kids active and introduce the idea of “earning” screen time. Exercising daily and getting outdoors when the weather allows will help to keep them off the electronics.

Ask them to find a fun activity you can all do together, like visiting the aquarium or a museum.

Encourage healthy eating habits. ‘Tis the season of sweets – maintaining a healthy and balanced diet with occasional treats will help kids stay healthy during a time when many treats are offered and the regular meal routines may be off.

Write “thank you” notes to friends and family. Keep writing and spelling skills fresh and check something off the to-do list at the same time.

Engage children in cooking and baking. Measuring and following a recipe is great practice for both math and time management skills and kids are more likely to try new things if they’ve been involved in the cooking or baking.

Don’t forget to get some rest. Set students up for success upon returning to school by imposing a regular bedtime/sleep schedule the last few days of vacation.

Parents, over the past week I’ve diagnosed several children with the flu. Presently, the most common strain is Influenza A. Sometime in February it will change to the strain Infuenza B. Many parents ask, “Which is worse?” Forget what Google or what Web MD says, they both are pretty similar in symptoms and severity.

The flu is often characterized by fever (101+), congestion, headache, body aches and sometimes vomiting. Usually the best treatment is rest, Tylenol and Motrin, fluids, and time. There is an antiviral medicine that can help if it is started soon enough, but that requires a whole other conversation.

CHRISTMAS SAFETY TIPS

Most wrapping paper and ribbons are nontoxic, but certain foils and colored gift wraps might contain lead, so it's best not to let babies chew on them. After opening presents, immediately discard gift wrap, plastic bags, foil papers, tape, gift bags, and ribbons, as they can all pose strangulation, suffocation, and choking hazards for young children or cause a fire if near a flame. Another danger you might not think about are musical holiday cards, which contain button batteries (also found in some toys, remote controls, flameless candles, and other gadgets). When swallowed, these coin-size lithium batteries can get stuck in the esophagus, also the saliva triggers an electric current that causes a chemical reaction that can severely burn the esophagus in as little as two hours. The button batteries in musical greeting cards are not secured in a locked compartment, and a young child can easily pull them out and ingest them. If your child does ingest one, call 911 and take him to the emergency room immediately. Also, as was mentioned earlier, a button battery ingestion is a guaranteed trip to the operating room.
