❤️ February is American Heart Month!
A healthy heart starts in childhood — and the habits kids build now can protect them for life. This month, we’re joining the nationwide effort to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and heart‑disease prevention.
🌟 Heart‑Healthy Habits for Kids
• Stay active every day — aim for plenty of play, movement, and outdoor time
• Choose colorful foods — fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins
• Limit sugary drinks — water is the real MVP
• Prioritize sleep — good rest supports heart health too
• Keep stress in check — routines, downtime, and family connection matter
💛 Why it matters
Heart disease can begin developing earlier than most people realize. Building healthy routines in childhood sets the foundation for strong hearts, healthy bodies, and lifelong wellness.
👨‍⚕️ We’re here for your family
If you have questions about nutrition, activity, blood pressure, or your child’s overall heart health, our team at Beaches Pediatrics is always ready to help.
Let’s make February a month of strong hearts, healthy habits, and empowered families.

🌟 Beaches Pediatrics Tip of the Week: Screen Time Guidelines by Age 🌟
Helping families set healthy boundaries with technology is part of keeping kids thriving. Here’s what the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends for screen time across ages:

📱 Screen Time Guidelines by Age
• Under 18 months: Avoid screen media (except video chatting with loved ones).
• 18–24 months: If parents choose, introduce high-quality programming. Always co-view to help children understand what they’re seeing.
• 2–5 years: Limit to 1 hour per day of high-quality content. Watch together to encourage learning and conversation.
• 6 years and older: Place consistent limits on screen time. Ensure it doesn’t interfere with sleep, physical activity, schoolwork, or family time.

💡 Family Tips
• Create a Family Media Plan with clear rules for when and where screens are allowed.
• Encourage screen-free zones (like bedrooms and mealtimes).
• Model healthy habits—kids notice when parents put down their phones.
• Balance screen use with outdoor play, reading, and face-to-face connection.

👩‍⚕️ At Beaches Pediatrics, we know technology is part of modern life, but balance is key. By setting age-appropriate boundaries, families can help children grow up healthy, connected, and ready to thrive.

💙 This week, the spotlight is on Erica! 💙
Erica has been part of the Beaches Pediatrics family since 2023, bringing warmth, expertise, and a true love for caring for kids. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Florida with her Nursing degree, she went on to earn her Master of Science in Nursing and became certified through the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board. She’s been dedicated to primary care pediatrics ever since!
👩‍⚕️ Erica is passionate about working closely with families—she loves collaborating with parents to promote health and wellness, and feels honored to care for children when they’re sick. Her goal is always to provide care in the most natural way possible.
📍 Originally from Wisconsin, Erica has called Jacksonville home since 2007. She and her husband Brian (who works with the Navy) are raising three energetic boys—Trenton, Walker, and Gavin—plus their mischievous pup, Dexter. If you ever call after hours, you might just hear the boys in the background!
✨ Outside of work, Erica enjoys traveling, hiking in cooler climates, volunteering at church and school, and exploring new flavors as a proud foodie.
We’re so thankful for Erica’s dedication, compassion, and the joy she brings to our Beaches Pediatrics community every day!

🤧 Cold, 🤒 Flu, or 🤧 Allergies?
How to Tell the Difference in Kids

This time of year, it can be tough for parents to know what’s causing their child’s sniffles. Here’s a simple guide to help you sort it out:

🌬️ Common Cold
• Gradual onset
• Stuffy or runny nose
• Mild cough
• Low‑grade fever (sometimes)
• Kids usually still have some energy

🤒 Flu
• Sudden onset
• High fever
• Body aches, chills
• Fatigue or wanting to sleep more
• Headache
• Symptoms hit harder and faster than a cold

🌼 Allergies
• Itchy eyes or nose
• Clear, watery drainage
• Sneezing fits
• No fever
• Symptoms linger for weeks or flare in certain environments

💡 Quick Tip:
If your child has a fever, it’s not allergies. And if symptoms come on suddenly and your child seems wiped out, flu is more likely than a cold.
If you’re ever unsure, we’re here to help. Call Beaches Pediatrics at 904-260-6525 and we’ll guide you on the next best step for your child’s care.
