Welcome back to school! ✏️📚🚌Time to get back into a routine which means reestablishing good eating, sleeping and a healthy bathroom ritual. Back to school is a common trigger for childhood constipation. Many children feel uncomfortable going #2 at school because of no privacy, not enough time or because the bathroom is dirty. When kids choose to hold their stool in, the colon absorbs the water out of the stool, which makes it hard and dry. If this behavior persists, a child’s brain can ignore the urge to go to the bathroom which can lead to constipation. Treatment may include diet, lifestyle changes, and good bowel habits.
What to look out for👀:
-Less than three bowel movements a week
-Hard stools that are difficult to pass
-Cramps, stomachaches, or nausea
-Feeling full or bloated
-Re**al bleeding
-Frequent urination, or bed-wetting
-Soiling (leakage of stool that a child can’t control)

It’s easy to get Irritable Bowl Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease mixed up. IBS and IBD in children have similar symptoms and names, but they’re different conditions. Getting the right diagnosis and treatment plan will produce better symptom relief and improve your long-term health and quality of life.

⚠️ The once-banned, life threatening magnets are being swallowed by a growing number of children. Why are they dangerous? Ingestion of more than one magnet is a serious health hazard with an extremely high risk of intestinal obstruction and perforation which can lead to infection and possibly death. These magnets advertised as a toy continue to be a safety risk to children from toddlers to teens. If you suspect that magnets have been swallowed, seek medical attention immediately‼️

🍓🥬🫐🥒Smoothies are a great way to get kids to eat more fruits and vegetables. Give them a say about what goes into the blender, let them help you press the buttons and watch it blend.

⭐️Be creative. Cut fruits into fun shapes that are easy for your kids to pick up and eat. Adorable shape cutters are available on Amazon. Fruit kabobs on a skewer is another fun activity to do together.

👩🏻‍🍳Get them involved. Involve your kids in prepping and cooking. Kids are much more likely to eat something if they’ve had a role in making it.

👀 Keep fruits and vegetables in sight. Have a fruit bowl on the counter where kids can reach them. You could also try to organize your fridge to make fruits/veggies more visible.

🥘 Be a sneaky chef. There are many ways you can sneak in servings of vegetablthem even knowing it. Like smoothies, mac and cheese, pasta sauce, muffins or add to scrambled eggs.

🙂Be positive and set the example!
You are your child’s most important teacher and role model. If they see you eating something, they’ll want to follow your example. Never force children to eat or berate them for their food choices. Instead, set a good example and understand that children may have to be offered a food a dozen times before they will eat it.
Keep trying!

DRINK MORE WATER: Try to make water consumption a priority today. Having your child stay hydrated will help their digestion and bloating. Water will also give them more energy to tackle the day.

EAT GUT-FRIENDLY, NOURISHING FOODS:
Replenish diets with meals full of veggies and protein.

GET MOVING: Exercise gets your metabolism going and will help sweat out the bad stuff. Plan a trip to a playground or family bike ride/walk after school.

Children under 5 have airways that are about the size of their pinky. When serving meals/snacks during school hours or activities, be mindful of food size and shape, especially round or a shape that could conform to the shape and size of the trachea (windpipe). A choking hazard can exist when the child is talking, laughing, eating too quickly, running or walking. Children under the age of 5 are the most at risk of choking on foods. Types of foods to modify or avoid:
•Hot dogs 🌭
•Grapes 🍇
•Nuts 🌰
•Popcorn🍿
•Raw carrots and apples🥕
•Hard sticky candy 🍬
•Fruit snacks
•Spoonfuls of thick peanut butter 🥜
