Anyone else have kids that are afraid of storms? The Midwest Anxiety club is the perfect resource for this and many other worries!

Hope everyone slept well and is safe this morning from the storms. Because big storms can trigger storm anxiety for some of our kids, TONIGHT AT 7PM WE ARE HAVING AN IMPROMPTU VIRTUAL STORM SEASON CLASS.

WHAT IS STORM SEASON?
What's that cloud mean? Is it going to rain? Check the computer to see if it's going to be "bad weather!!!!" Why is it windy? Yep!!!! It's that time of year. Storm Season. If your child worries about storms, join us and other parents of anxious storm kids to learn a parenting plan which will allow you to support your child's storm anxiety without constant reassurance, accomodations, and avoidance. You will learn Cognitive Behavioral skills to help your child improve his/her confidence to "fight back" against storms while you sit back and cheer him/her on

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN US TONIGHT AT 7PM FOR STORM SEASON. GET SIGNED UP FOR THE CLUB AND WE’LL GET YOU THE CONNECTION INFO 👉 midwestanxiety.com/theclub

Important tick info!

The Lone Star Tick (image on the left) and the Blacklegged (Deer) Tick (image on the right) cause Ehrlichiosis, the most common tick-borne illness in Johnson County, Kansas. This year, there have been seven reported cases, and in 2024, there were 21 cases. The average number of cases over the last 10 years is 12.1, with the majority occurring between May and the end of August.

How to protect yourself from tick bites: https://bit.ly/3VbyDEI:

🦟 Wear an EPA-approved insect repellent (i.e., DEET, picaridin, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), IR3535, para-menthane-diol (PMD) or 2-undecanone) and follow label instructions: https://bit.ly/2NWTbgP
👖 Wear long sleeves, pants, socks and shoes. Tuck shirts into pants and tuck pants into socks.
🚶 Walk in the center of trails and avoid wooded and brushy areas with high grass and leaf litter.
🔎 Check clothing, gear and pets for ticks after you come indoors.

Seek medical attention from a health care provider if you experience fever/chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, muscle aches, a stiff neck or a rash following a tick bite.

Testing ticks for tickborne diseases is not recommended or available in Johnson County. You can send a photo of a tick for identification to Kansas State University’s Department of Entomology at https://bit.ly/3xaylG7.
