There are many steps involved to diagnose a food allergy. First, an allergist will take a careful history of what happened when you/your child ate the suspected food.

Representation indicates that children should be able to show their understanding of mathematics in a variety of ways. Children can represent their understanding verbally; through writing; through pictures or paintings; through models built with materials like chenille stems, modeling dough, or clay; through dance; through music; through whatever means that are available to them at the time.

Here are some examples of reasoning during play and how you, as a caregiver, can support it.

High-energy children are typically always on the move, exhibiting a level of activity that surpasses that of their peers. These children may seek out sensory input – such as deep pressure, climbing and jumping and going fast. They may be daredevils. They may also have difficulty settling down at night. Their persistence can be remarkable; they often push for what they want and may struggle to accept "no" for an answer. Recognizing these traits can help you understand your child’s behavior better and respond more effectively🫶💙✨

Q&A: Children with generalized anxiety disorder worry about a lot of everyday things. Their worry is not caused by anything specific and it is bad enough to get in the way of daily life.

To be diagnosed with the disorder, children must experience symptoms most days for at least six months.

02/10/2026

As many children may be getting the flu shot in the next few weeks, parents may be wondering how to best prepare their children to cope with the pain and stress typically associated with any type of shot.
A study published in 2022 found that what parents say in the minutes after a shot may make a difference in reducing a child’s distress.

In the first minute after the shot, using coping statements (e.g.,“It will feel better soon”) was actually associated with more distress in children when compared to parents who did not use these statements. Trying to distract the children by talking about something else was also associated with more distress in the first minute after the shot.

In the second minute after the shot (when the child was presumably calmer), coping statements were associated with LESS distress. In the second minute, critical comments (such as “don’t be a baby”) were associated with MORE distress.

The child’s distress before the shot was also associated with distress after the shot, emphasizing the importance of keeping children calm leading up to the shot.

TRANSLATION:
1️⃣ Before the shot, try to keep your child as calm as possible. Engage in coping strategies (deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization) to maintain their calm.

2️⃣ Immediately after a shot, help your child by staying calm yourself and using physical strategies such as hugging, cuddling, or holding hands.

3️⃣ Do not use coping statements or try to distract your child immediately after a shot.
When your child starts to calm down (more than a minute after the shot), use coping statements (“You can do this”, “The pain will be over soon”).

4️⃣ Never criticize or invalidate your child’s fear or distress related to a shot.

For children who are still breastfed, breastfeeding before or immediately after a shot may decrease distress (Erkul & Efe, 2017).

To be able to identify a reading problem in their child, parents need to have a sense of the milestones of early literacy. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s literacy development, talk with your child’s doctor, teacher, or a speech and language specialist. The sooner your child gets the help they need, the easier it will be for your child to learn.
