Teaching gratitude isn’t just about words - it’s about actions too! 💕

Encourage your child to show thanks through simple gestures:

✨ Helping a friend

✨ Saying “thank you” to teachers

✨ Drawing a thank-you card for a loved one

✨ Sharing with someone in need

Grateful hearts make for happier, healthier kids! 😊

🧡 Gratitude Starts Small 🧡

This November, let’s help our little ones find joy in the small things!
Encourage your child to share one thing they’re thankful for each day — it could be a favorite toy, a friend, or even their bedtime story. 🍂

Building gratitude early helps children grow into kind, mindful adults. 🍁

🎃 Happy Halloween from Somerset Pediatric and Adolescent Associates!

👻 Before your little ghosts and goblins head out for trick-or-treating, here are a few Halloween safety tips.

🕯️ Costume Safety: Choose light-colored costumes or add reflective tape so your child is visible at night. Make sure costumes fit properly to avoid trips and falls. Use face paint instead of masks to keep vision clear.

🍬 Trick-or-Treating Tips: Always have an adult accompany younger children. Stay on sidewalks and cross streets at corners. Only visit well-lit homes and never enter a stranger’s house.

🧡 Candy Check: Inspect all treats before eating. Avoid homemade goodies from people you don’t know. Everything in moderation—remind kids to enjoy sweets but brush and floss afterward!

🚗 For Drivers: Be extra cautious and drive slowly - excited kids may dart into the street.

Wishing everyone a fun, safe, and spook-tacular Halloween!

Every Day Matters for Mental Health 💚

On October 10th, our staff wore green to recognize World Mental Health Day — a reminder that mental health deserves attention every day.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience some form of mental illness, and help is always available. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline — free, confidential, and available 24/7.

Let’s continue to support one another and end the stigma surrounding mental health. 💚
