Feeding babies diverse foods starting at 4-6 months of age teaches their immune system to tolerate foods. This can reduce the risk of food allergy for many children. Talk with your child's pediatrician at their 4 month well child visit to make a food introduction plan.

Remember: there are over 300 risk factors that can influence the development of food allergy. Even if you reduce risk by introducing foods early, other factors not in your control may cause food allergy. So while taking this step can lower the odds, it does not completely prevent all food allergy.

Parents who provide positive attention to desired behaviors often get better results than negative attention to undesired behaviors. In other words, notice and verbally praise your children when they are doing the right thing, even the little things!

Studies show that praise for behavior you want to encourage gets more results than calling out behavior you want to stop. How to use positive attention.

Asthma is treatable and should never hold a child back from being active and participating in sports. Talk to your pediatrician if you have concerns that your child has untreated or undertreated asthma.

With the right plan, asthma doesn’t have to hold you back. If you have asthma symptoms during exercise:

✔️ Follow your Asthma Action Plan
✔️ Take medicines as prescribed
✔️ Do proper warm-ups like stretching or a light jog
✔️ Pace yourself
✔️ Wear a face covering in cold weather to protect your lungs from extreme cold

Always talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program. With effective management, people with asthma can be active and even compete in sports.
