We keep our Native culture thriving by protecting our next generation!

Safe to Sleep® Tip: The cradleboard allows babies to sleep on their backs while safely secured in place. Avoid overheating when swaddling baby in a cradleboard. A light blanket may be all that is needed in colder weather.

Children and teenagers who feel secure and supported by their family, school, and peers are less likely to bully. However, some youth do not have these types of support. Every individual is unique and there are many factors that can contribute to bullying behavior. A youth who bullies may experience one, several, or none of these contributing factors:

PEER FACTORS
👉to attain or maintain social power or to elevate their status in their peer group
👉to show their allegiance to and fit in with their peer group
👉to exclude others from their peer group, to show who is and is not part of the group
👉to control the behavior of their peers

FAMILY FACTORS
👉come from families where there is bullying, aggression, or violence at home
👉may have parents and caregivers that do not provide emotional support or communication
👉may have parents or caregivers who respond in an authoritarian or reactive way
👉may come from families where the adults are overly lenient or where there is low parental involvement in their lives

EMOTIONAL FACTORS
👉may have been bullied in the past or currently
👉have feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem, so they bully to make themselves feel more powerful
👉do not understand other’s emotions
👉don’t know how to control their emotions, so they take out their feelings on other people
👉may not have skills for handling social situations in healthy, positive ways

SCHOOL FACTORS
👉may be in schools where conduct problems and bullying are not properly addressed
👉may experience being excluded, not accepted, or stigmatized at school

It can take 1 to 4 weeks for symptoms to appear after someone's been exposed to the bacteria. Symptoms can last for several weeks.

Some infected people may have no symptoms.

Symptoms depend on the type of infection.

Chest cold symptoms
Common symptoms include:

- Feeling tired
- Fever
- Headache
- Slowly worsening cough
- Sore throat

Younger children may have different symptoms
Instead of chest cold symptoms, children younger than 5 years old may have:

- Diarrhea
- Sneezing
- Sore throat
- Stuffy or runny nose
- Vomiting
- Watery eyes
- Wheezing

Pneumonia symptoms
People with pneumonia caused by M. pneumoniae can seem better than expected for someone with a lung infection. With mild symptoms, people may not stay home or in bed. Thus, the phrase "walking pneumonia" was coined.

Common symptoms include:

- Cough
- Feeling tired
- Fever and chills
- Shortness of breath

Q&A: Children with selective mutism have a hard time speaking in some situations, like at school. These kids aren’t just shy. Their anxiety is so bad that they feel frozen and are not able to speak.

Children are not diagnosed with selective mutism if their trouble speaking is caused by a communication disorder or language barrier.

Signs of selective mutism include the following: 1) Able to speak in some situations but not others. 2) Have had the problem for at least a month. 3) Issues with school/social activities as a result.

Learn more at childmind.org, and do not hesitate to contact your child's health provider if you have any questions or concerns.

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.
