📚🎉 Happy National Read Across America Day! 🎉📚

Today we celebrate the joy of reading and the birthday of the one and only Dr. Seuss — whose stories have inspired generations of young readers to imagine, explore, and dream big.

Reading with your child is one of the most powerful gifts you can give. Just a few minutes a day helps build
✨ Language and vocabulary
✨ Listening skills
✨ Creativity and imagination
✨ School readiness and confidence

Most importantly, it builds connection. Those cozy moments spent turning pages together create memories that last a lifetime.

If you’re looking for your next great read, stop by and grab a book from our Little Free Library and keep the love of reading growing at home! 📖💛

👣✨ Walking Is a Big Milestone! ✨👣

Around age 1, many children begin taking their first steps and over the next year their walking skills improve dramatically. That’s why we call them toddlers… they truly do toddle! 💛

As mobility increases, so does curiosity. Take a child’s eye view of your home and update your childproofing to keep up with their growing skills.

🚶‍♂️ How Movement Develops
• First steps often happen shortly after the first birthday
• Early walkers keep legs wide apart and arms out for balance
• Within about 6 months, walking becomes smoother and more confident
• By age 2, most toddlers can
✔ Run
✔ Kick a ball
✔ Walk up stairs

Falls are common while learning. They are part of the process. Focus on creating safe spaces for exploration and removing sharp corners or hazards.

🎯 How to Encourage Your Toddler
Give them plenty of opportunities to move and explore
• Take neighborhood walks
• Visit a playground
• Create a simple obstacle course with pillows or boxes
• Practice kicking and throwing balls

📞 When to Check In With Your Doctor
While development varies, let your pediatrician know if your child

By 15 months
• Is not taking a few steps alone

By 18 months
• Is not walking independently
• Is not climbing on or off furniture
• Is not scribbling

By 24 months
• Is not walking up stairs
• Is not running

Every child develops at their own pace, but we are always here to help if you have questions or concerns about your child’s growth and milestones. 💚

📣 Does Your Child Have an Earache? Here’s What You Should Know! 👂💛

Earaches are common in kids and can have a number of causes — from fluid buildup behind the eardrum (like with an ear infection) to swimmer’s ear, wax blockage, or even referred pain from a sore throat or dental discomfort.

👶 Signs to Watch For:
• Pain in or around the ear
• Complaints of ear pain in older kids
• Fussiness, crying, or trouble sleeping in younger children
• Tugging or rubbing at the ear, especially if they’re not yet verbal

📌 Common Causes of Earaches:
✔ Middle ear infection, the most frequent cause
✔ Irritation or infection of the outer ear canal (swimmer’s ear)
✔ Earwax buildup
✔ Pressure changes such as during airplane travel
✔ Foreign objects in the ear, especially in little explorers

👩‍⚕️ When to Contact our Office:
If your child has
• Severe pain that does not improve
• High fever
• Drainage from the ear
• Trouble hearing
• Pain after an injury
• Symptoms that worry you, trust your instincts

💊 Tips While You Wait to See a Provider:
• Use pain relievers as advised by your pediatric provider
• Warm or cool compresses can help with discomfort
• Avoid putting objects, including cotton swabs, inside the ear

Earaches are common, and most kids feel better with supportive care and proper medical guidance. If you are unsure, we are here to help. ❤️

🚨 We’re Seeing a Surge of Influenza B This Week 🚨

Kids.Healthcare has been seeing a significant increase in Influenza B cases in our community. If your child isn’t feeling well, here’s what to watch for:

🦠 Common Symptoms of Influenza B:
• Sudden high fever
• Chills
• Headache
• Body aches
• Fatigue (often significant)
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (more common in children)

Flu symptoms tend to come on quickly and can make kids feel much worse than a typical cold.

🧼 Handwashing Matters!
One of the best ways to prevent the spread of influenza is proper hand hygiene. Encourage your child to:
• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
• Wash before eating and after coughing, sneezing, or using the restroom
• Use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t available

Cover coughs and sneezes, avoid sharing drinks or utensils, and keep sick children home to help protect classmates, teachers, and family members.

If your child has high fever, difficulty breathing, signs of dehydration, or you are concerned about their symptoms, please contact our office.

Let’s work together to keep our community healthy 💙

👄 Lip Licker’s Dermatitis: A Common Winter Rash

We’re seeing many kids with a red, dry rash that forms a ring around the mouth. This is often caused by frequent lip licking. Saliva breaks down the skin barrier, leading to irritation and a frustrating cycle of dryness and inflammation.

What helps most:
Apply a thick barrier like Vaseline or Aquaphor 4–6 times a day, especially before bed
Avoid flavored or scented lip balms, which can worsen irritation
Encourage children to stop licking, as the rash often starts because the skin feels dry and uncomfortable

This rash is especially common during cold, dry winter months.

When to seek care:
If the rash does not improve with consistent moisturizing or you notice yellow crusting, it may be infected and should be evaluated by a medical provider.

Consistent skin protection makes a big difference, and most cases improve once the skin barrier heals.

❄️ Dry, Red Hands This Winter? We’re Seeing It a Lot! ❄️

Cold temps, frequent handwashing, and dry indoor air can leave kids with red, cracked, uncomfortable hands. Here’s how to help treat and prevent it:

🧴 Moisturize often with a thick, fragrance-free cream or ointment (especially after washing)
👐 Use gentle, unscented soaps and lukewarm water
🧤 Have kids wear gloves or mittens outside
🏠 A humidifier at home can add helpful moisture to the air
🚫 Avoid alcohol-based sanitizers when possible — they can be extra drying

If hands are painful, cracked, or not improving, our team is always happy to help! 💙
