Your child’s growing independence from the family and interest in friends might be obvious by now. Healthy friendships are very important to your child’s development, but peer pressure can become strong during this time. Children who feel good about themselves are more able to resist negative peer pressure and make better choices. Here is a positive parenting quick tip to help you support your 9 to 11-year-old during this time:

MAKE CLEAR RULES AND STICK TO THEM. TALK WITH YOUR CHILD ABOUT WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM THEIR BEHAVIOR WHEN NO ADULTS ARE PRESENT. IF YOU PROVIDE REASONS FOR THE RULES, IT WILL HELP THEM TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IN MOST SITUATIONS.

Recent high school graduates may want to make an appointment with their healthcare provider to make sure they are up to date on all of the recommended vaccines. Students will be introduced to many new people, places and experiences as they start their next phase of life. Further, they may be coming into contact with people from countries where vaccine-preventable diseases are more common, or they may travel to other parts of the world to learn or perform services. Documented outbreaks of infectious diseases on college campuses have occurred following international travel.

While colleges will likely require certain vaccines, some that are not required may still be of benefit. Consider the following regardless of whether or not they are required:

Meningococcal vaccine — Particularly if your college student will be staying on campus in a dorm, they should get two different meningococcal vaccines if they did not get them previously. One protects against four types of meningococcus (A, C, W, and Y), and a second one protects against
meningococcus B. Studies have shown that college students are at particular risk of contracting meningococcal meningitis.

Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis vaccine (Tdap) — Your teen may need a booster dose; the dose can be with either Tdap or Td.

Human papillomavirus or HPV vaccine — If your teen has not had the recommended doses of HPV vaccine to protect against cervical and other cancers and ge***al warts, it should be considered. For teens starting the vaccine at age 15 years and older, three doses of HPV vaccine are recommended. If the vaccine series was started before 15 years of age, only two doses are needed.

Your teen may also need to catch up on other vaccines, including COVID-19, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines.

Finding and eating or drinking medicines, without adult supervision, is the main cause of emergency visits for adverse drug events among children less than 5 years of age. Approximately 50,000 children less than 5 years of age are brought to emergency departments each year because of unsupervised ingestions. Nearly 70% of emergency department visits for unsupervised medication ingestions by young children involve 1 and 2-year-olds.

Follow these tips to ensure that your medications are stored safely away from children at all times.
