Let's Talk about Practicing Gratitude!

It’s more than good manners. It's a skill that helps kids (and grown-ups!) feel happier, more connected, and see the bright side even on hard days. 💫

Studies show that practicing gratitude leads to more positive emotions, optimism, school satisfaction, empathy, and kids are less likely to feel depressed or anxious.

Swipe for tips on how to practice gratitude & make thankfulness a habit with your family!

This is a common question from parents. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can occur at any age, but children are most likely to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Noticing early symptoms can make a big difference.

Common signs may include:

- More frequent urination (especially at night, which may cause a child who is potty trained to start bedwetting again).

- Being very thirsty

- Feeling more tired than usual

- Weight loss

- Increased appetite

- Abdominal pain & vomiting

If you ever notice changes that concern you or feel "off," talk to your pediatrician. We're here to listen, check, and guide you!

Trick-or-treating is fun...cavities are not! 👻 The longer and more frequently your child's teeth are exposed to sugar, the greater the risk for cavities. "Sticky sugar" foods such as candy, caramel, fruit snacks, and gum can bathe the teeth in sugar for hours.

Here are some helpful brushing reminders:

🦷 Brush teeth every morning and night. It's recommended to brush after eating a sugary item, too!

🦷 Use toothpaste with fluoride to help strengthen tooth enamel & prevent cavities.

🦷 For kids under 3, use a smear of toothpaste the size of a grain of rice.

🦷 For kids ages 3-6, use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.

🦷 If your child is old enough to brush their own, encourage brushing for 2 minutes. Setting a timer or having them sing a song can help.

🦷 Remind kids to brush the trickier teeth in the back that are hidden and not just the front teeth.

🦷 Floss between teeth daily.

🦷 Keep up with dentist visits every 6 months for checkups.

Before your little (or big) monsters head out for Halloween, here are some easy safety steps to help give you peace of mind:

✨ Plan a familiar route
🧙‍♀️ Use face paint instead of masks to keep vision clear
💡 Stay visible with glow sticks & bring a flashlight
👟 Wear comfy shoes
🚸 Cross streets at crosswalks & look both ways!
🍭 Double-check candy at home & throw out anything open or suspicious

For older kids, encourage them to go with friends, stick together, and to familiar neighborhoods. Set a curfew and remind them to keep a charged phone & share their route with you. 👫🌙📱

Wishing all of our families a safe & Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Southpoint Pediatrics!
