Annual checkups are one of the best ways to catch health concerns early, manage chronic conditions, and stay proactive about your health as you age. These visits help your provider monitor things like blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes risk, mental health, and more, often before symptoms appear. For seniors, yearly exams are especially important to prevent small issues from becoming serious and to keep conditions like diabetes or heart disease under control. Remember: A yearly physical isn’t just an appointment, it’s an investment in your long-term health and quality of life.

Your baby is on the move! Between 10 and 12 months, little ones are learning fast: pulling up to stand, cruising along furniture, feeding themselves finger foods, and maybe even taking their first steps. You may notice:
🔵 Standing or early walking
🔵 Saying “mama,” “dada,” or other words they hear frequently
🔵 Using gestures like pointing or waving
🔵 Exploring new foods and textures
🔵 Sleeping longer stretches at night
Remember, every baby develops at their own pace, there’s a wide range of what’s normal. If you have questions about growth, feeding, sleep, or milestones, your pediatrician is always your best resource.

Undetected vision problems can affect your child’s learning, focus, and everyday activities. Since a child’s visual system is still developing in the early years, identifying issues early is key. Here are some signs to watch for:
👓 Squinting, tilting their head, or covering one eye
👓 Sitting very close to screens or books
👓 Frequent eye rubbing
👓 Headaches or eye pain
👓 Trouble concentrating at school
If your child fails a school or pediatric vision screening, schedule a comprehensive eye exam with an eye care provider. Clear vision plays a major role in learning, and early detection can make a big difference!

Your gut does more than help you digest food, it plays a key role in immunity, inflammation, mood, and overall health. A healthy, diverse gut microbiome supports digestion, protects against harmful bacteria, and may lower the risk of chronic disease. 5 simple ways to support a happy gut:
🥦 Eat more fiber (fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans)
🚰 Drink enough water to support digestion and prevent constipation
🌀 Manage stress—your gut and brain are closely connected
💤 Get 7–9 hours of sleep each night
🏃🏽 Stay active with regular movement

Small daily habits can make a big difference in how your gut and your whole body feel!

Norovirus spreads easily, and you can pass it before you feel sick and even weeks after you feel better. Prevention is key!
🦠 Stay home if sick and wait 48 hours after symptoms stop before returning to work, school, or caregiving
🦠 Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds (hand sanitizer alone doesn’t work well)
🦠 Handle food safely: wash produce, cook shellfish thoroughly, and clean kitchen surfaces often
🦠 Clean and disinfect vomit or diarrhea right away using bleach or approved disinfectants
🦠 Wash contaminated laundry with hot water and high heat

Simple steps can help stop the spread and protect your family and community!

If your child opens up about bullying, try not to panic. Your most important role is to listen, stay calm, and reassure them that things can get better with the right support.
🔵 Reassure them it’s not their fault, and they’re not alone
🔵 Avoid encouraging retaliation; walking away and seeking help is safer
🔵 Talk through next steps together and respect their voice
🔵 Help build confidence through activities and friendships
🔵 Partner with teachers or school leaders to ensure a safe environment
Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard. If you’re unsure what to do next, your pediatrician or school team can help guide you.
