Meningococcal meningitis is the most common form of bacterial meningitis in adolescents and young adults.

Meningococcal meningitis refers to any illness caused by bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis. This bacteria can cause a life-threatening bloodstream infection (that may lead to sepsis) or meningitis (infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord)—or both.

Yoga is the ideal indoor exercise. Requiring only a few square feet of space, yoga’s low-impact movements help support both the physical and mental well-being of you and your family. What sets yoga apart from other forms of exercise is that it can be practiced by people of all different ages and fitness levels.

Keeping everyone in control of their bodies is a key element of yoga, especially when younger children are participating. For families, we recommend forming a circle and starting with some basic standing poses like tree pose and warrior pose.

🌳 Tree Pose: Stand on one leg and make a triangle with your other by raising your knee and foot until the sole rests just below the knee of your standing leg. After you find your balance, reach your arms up above you like the branches of a tree and look ahead. Hold and return to starting position.

🧘🏻 Warrior Pose: Spread your feet a bit wider than your shoulders so that your body makes a triangle. While looking ahead, turn your left foot 90 degrees and raise both arms to the sky. Swivel your right arm forward and your left arm back, and extend and bend your left knee over your ankle, letting your hips sink gently toward the floor. Look in the direction of the bent knee and hold for five seconds.

During this time, your teen is developing their unique personality and opinions. Relationships with friends are still important, yet your teen will have other interests as they develop a more clear sense of who they are. This is also an important time to prepare for more independence and responsibility; many teenagers start working and many will be leaving home soon after high school.

Playtime provides excellent opportunities to teach your baby about words and touch. Try this pretend play activity the next time you are playing together to help your child develop a foundation for talking and reading.

Activity: Toe Tales (0-2 years)

Use: Playtime

Description: As you sit with your child, hold their feet and touch each of their toes, making up a story about each one. The small one is a little piglet that goes "oink oink!" The next one is his big brother, etc. Keep going and respond to what they do and say!

Brainy Background: When your child hears words and feels your touch, they're making connections in their brain between words and actions. When you respond to what they do and say, it helps them to develop the foundation for talking and reading.

Actividad: Historias de deditos

Uso: Desempeñar tiempo

Descripción: Mientras te sientas con tu niño, sostén sus pies y toca cada uno de los deditos de sus pies, inventando una historia sobre cada uno. El más pequeñito es un cochinito que hace "¡oinc-oinc!" El que le sigue es su hermanito mayor, etc. ¡Sigue adelante y responde a lo que tu niño hace y dice!

Fondo Inteligente: Cuando tu niño escucha las palabras y siente tu contacto, él establece conexiones en su cerebro entre palabras y acciones. Cuando respondes a lo que tu niño hace y dice, lo ayudas a desarrollar las bases para el habla y la lectura.
