Slowing down your breathing tells your body it's safe to relax even if you feel anxious. But this can be hard for kids (and adults) to learn.

Try this calming tool: Imagine blowing bubbles. Put each worry into a bubble and watch them float away.

This can help your child connect to their breathing and return to the present moment. Practice before they need it, so they can get the hang of it.

This grounding exercise brings you back to the present moment. It can help you feel calmer when you're anxious or overwhelmed. It's hard to learn something new when you're upset, so practice it when you're calm. That way it's ready when you need it.

Save this for when you need it. Get more anxiety tools: https://buff.ly/sYsMp0Q

Was something called abnormal on your medical chart?

Abnormal just means different from most people. Sometimes that difference matters. Sometimes it doesn't.

Any illness is abnormal, since most people are healthy. But not everything abnormal is an illness.

To find out what it means for you, ask your medical team:
- What does this mean for my health?
- What are the next steps?
- Should I be worried?

Ever go blank when the nurse asks what medications you take?

It happens to almost everyone. And your medical team needs an accurate list so they can check for side effects, watch for interactions, and sometimes suggest a better treatment.

Try one of these easy ways to remember:
- Bring your pill bottles
- Take photos of the labels
- Write it down

Don't forget vitamins & supplements!

The wait in the ER can be long. It can feel even longer when you don't know what's happening. Sometimes updates fall through the cracks when the ER is busy.

It's okay to ask for an update. You could say something like, "Can you help me understand what's happening in my care?" This way you can find out what's happening and ask any other questions you might have.

Should you bring someone with you to medical appointments?

If you want to, yes. You don't have to navigate appointments alone.

Here are 3 ways someone can support you:
1. Bring them with you. A trusted friend or family member can help you remember your questions, bring up concerns, and take notes.
2. Have them join by phone. Tell the person who takes you back to the room that you'd like someone on the phone during your appointment. They'll let you know when to call.
3. Record the appointment. Ask staff first and explain why. You can share the recording with your support person afterward.

It's getting harder to find health information you can trust. Social media platforms are doing less fact-checking, AI is making false claims easier to spread, and most health websites still come with ads, tracking, or language that's hard to understand.

That's why we created HealthEd 4 Everyone, a nonprofit that makes free, doctor-reviewed guides to help you understand and manage your health as well as get the care you need.

Swipe to see how you can get involved, whether that's volunteering or making a tax-deductible donation.
