Reading is an essential activity that is linked to children’s cognitive development, academic skills, and future employment opportunities. Children often become interested in reading by watching and mimicking their parents or participating in child-parent reading routines.

Although mothers have a big role to play, research shows that fathers are particularly influential for children’s language and literacy development, which means they are a promising point of intervention for efforts to improve children’s language and literacy. Reading together and engaging in other literacy activities, such as telling stories, are things fathers can do to model positive parenting and improve children’s developmental outcomes.

There are many steps involved to diagnose a food allergy. First, an allergist will take a careful history of what happened when you/your child ate the suspected food. Then skin, blood, or oral food challenge tests may be ordered to help confirm diagnosis. https://kidswithfoodallergies.org/living-with-food-allergies/new-food-allergy-diagnosis/what-food-allergy-tests-mean/

Singing supports your baby's language development by introducing them to new words and sounds. Try this song activity during laundry time.

Activity: Singing Laundry (0-9 months)

Use: Laundry

Description: When you're doing laundry, sing every step: putting in detergent, closing the door, folding the clothes, etc. Watch your child and copy the sounds they make so you can create a song together. This is fun and puts a new spin on this chore.

Brainy Background: When your child hears new sounds and sees you respond to the sounds they make, they're focused and engaged. When they're focused and engaged, they learn new words and sounds that will help them talk and read in the future.

Actividad: Canciones al lavar la ropa (0-9 meses)

Uso: Lavadero

Descripción: Mientras lavas la ropa, canta y describe cada paso, mientras echas el detergente, cierras la puerta de la lavadora, doblas la ropa, etc. Observa a tu niño y copia los sonidos que él hace para poder inventar una canción juntos. Esta es una actividad divertida que le da un giro interesante a esta tarea.

Fondo Inteligente: Cuando tu niño escucha nuevos sonidos y te observa responder a los sonidos que él hace, él se concentra y participa en la actividad. Cuando tu niño está concentrado participa, aprende nuevas palabras y sonidos que lo ayudarán a aprender a hablar y leer en el futuro.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends visiting an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) for the first time between ages 13-15. Some patients come to these visits with a symptom or specific question, but the goal of this visit is to allow all teenagers — those with or without concerns — to be proactive in learning about their anatomy, typical or atypical menstruation and the role of the gynecologist in the discussion of sexual or reproductive health concerns. Here is an overview of what your child can expect during their first gynecologist appointment. Always reach out do your child's doctor with any questions or concerns.

We wish a happy Hanukkah for all the families celebrating!

: Hanukkah (also spelled Chanukah), or the Festival of Lights, lasts eight nights and commemorates the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century B.C.

During the first evening of the festival, the first branch of the menorah is usually lit. The menorah is a candelabrum with nine branches. Eight branches represent each night of the festival. The ninth branch is the shamash or helper candle, which is usually used to light all the others. On each subsequent night of the festival, an additional branch is usually lit.

Common traditions include exchanging gifts, playing with a four-sided top called a dreidel, and eating certain fried foods, including latkes (a type of fried potato pancake) and doughnuts.
