🦠 Flu Season Is Here — Let’s Keep Our Families Healthy! 🦠
The flu is a contagious illness that spreads easily, especially in fall and winter. It can be mild but for some people, especially young children, older adults, and those with health conditions, it can be serious.
You can help protect your family by:
✅ Washing hands often
✅ Covering coughs and sneezes
✅ Cleaning commonly touched surfaces
✅ Staying home when sick until fever-free for 24 hours
Flu symptoms may include: fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhea (especially in kids).

Let’s work together to keep our community healthy this flu season!

While the increase in flu cases is starting, it's not peak season just yet.

Check our article out on Mirror Indy! Thank you for sharing our story.

TaQuita Taylor saw a need for an urgent care in Indianapolis that catered towards kids. For a kid, getting a shot or a throat swab can be scary, she said.

Five years ago, Taylor and her husband Patrick, opened Children Express Care Clinic on the northeast side of Indy that focuses on providing care to kids in a way that makes them feel comfortable — from how nurses talk to them to having grape-flavored tongue depressors.

The Taylor’s chose the location because the nearest hospitals, Community North and Community East, are about 10 miles away. “It’s more of a health desert in this area,” said Patrick. It’s also close to where they both grew up.

Today, Children Express Care Clinic is a link to health care for many families who have limited access and may only see a medical provider when they are sick, Taylor said.

That makes patient education all the more important. Taylor encourages families to find a primary care home, bring children in for well-child visits and get preventive care before medical issues snowball.

Some Days You Just Have to Create Your Own Sunshine
At our clinic, we know that not every day feels bright and easy—for kids or parents. But even on the tough days, a little encouragement, a warm smile, or a moment of silliness can bring the sunshine back.
Whether it’s a high-five after a brave shot, a sticker that makes a little one grin, or a comforting word for a worried parent—small moments of joy make a big difference.
Let’s remind our kids (and ourselves!) that we can still shine, even when the clouds roll in.
Keep choosing positivity, kindness, and the little things that brighten your day.

🌟 Building Emotional Strength in Kids Starts at Home 🌟

Helping children grow into confident, resilient, emotionally healthy adults begins long before they face life’s big challenges. Every day offers small opportunities to strengthen their emotional well-being. 💛

Here are a few simple ways to nurture emotional strength in your child:

✨Name the Feelings
Kids learn emotional regulation by first learning emotional *language*. Encourage them to express what they feel—happy, sad, frustrated, excited—without judgment.

✨Practice Problem-Solving Together
Instead of fixing every problem for them, guide them through solutions. It boosts confidence and builds resilience.

✨Celebrate Effort, Not Perfection
Praise their hard work, patience, and persistence. Emotional strength grows when children know mistakes are okay.

✨Model Calm
Kids learn by watching us. When we show calmness during stress, they learn how to navigate big emotions too.

✨Build Connection Daily
Even 10 minutes of focused attention makes kids feel seen, valued, and secure—key ingredients for emotional growth.

Strong emotions aren’t something to fear they’re something to understand. And with the right tools and support, children can thrive emotionally just as much as they do physically.

💬 How do you help your child build emotional strength? Share your tips below!
