Research shows that for teens aged 12 to 17, ALL substance use is related. This is why making of no use of any substance is best for health.

Playtime provides excellent opportunities to teach your baby about words and touch. Try this pretend play activity the next time you are playing together to help your child develop a foundation for talking and reading.

Activity: Toe Tales (0-2 years)

Use: Playtime

Description: As you sit with your child, hold their feet and touch each of their toes, making up a story about each one. The small one is a little piglet that goes "oink oink!" The next one is his big brother, etc. Keep going and respond to what they do and say!

Brainy Background: When your child hears words and feels your touch, they're making connections in their brain between words and actions. When you respond to what they do and say, it helps them to develop the foundation for talking and reading.

Actividad: Historias de deditos

Uso: Desempeñar tiempo

Descripción: Mientras te sientas con tu niño, sostén sus pies y toca cada uno de los deditos de sus pies, inventando una historia sobre cada uno. El más pequeñito es un cochinito que hace "¡oinc-oinc!" El que le sigue es su hermanito mayor, etc. ¡Sigue adelante y responde a lo que tu niño hace y dice!

Fondo Inteligente: Cuando tu niño escucha las palabras y siente tu contacto, él establece conexiones en su cerebro entre palabras y acciones. Cuando respondes a lo que tu niño hace y dice, lo ayudas a desarrollar las bases para el habla y la lectura.

Of all the topics parents commonly cover with teens, pedestrian safety probably isn’t at the top of the list. Research shows, however, that maybe it should be: teens ages 12-19 years are one of the higher risk groups for pedestrian injury and death.

The importance of a healthy mouth both before and during pregnancy is not well-understood by most people. What we do know is that dental caries, the disease-process that leads to cavities, is caused by bacteria. Bacteria can spread and do so easily in families. Oral bacteria are no different, and for this reason it is important for pregnant women to reduce the amount of cavity-causing bacteria in their mouths before their baby is born.

More than 95 percent of a child's brain is formed during the first few years of life. During this critical period, a child's experiences irreversibly affect how the brain develops - for better or worse. Positive, responsive parenting during the early years creates the strong parent-child bond that promotes healthy brain development. When families read aloud to their young children, they can give them a better start to life. Reading aloud is beneficial to your child because:

1. It nurtures young children.
2. It takes children to places they have never been.
3. It builds motivation, curiosity, and memory.
4. It creates positive association with books and reading.
5. It is a wonderful way of helping children reach their full potential.
6. It is a great way of engaging young children.

To prevent curious kiddos from climbing dressers, make sure countertops stay clutter-free. Avoid placing toys, remote controls, or other tempting items on top—this reduces the risk of accidents and keeps your little ones safe. A tidy dresser means fewer climbing temptations!

Connections between math and children’s worlds, connections between math and other content areas, and connections between math content areas can all ensure that children have a better understanding and more positive feelings about math. During play, provide opportunities for your child to make connections between math content and what the child already knows about the world around them.

Here are some examples of connections during play and what you, as a caregiver, can do to support it.
