Croup often shows up at night & that sudden, barking cough can be scary to hear! 😮‍💨 Most of the time, croup is caused by a virus and improves after several days with comfort, cool mist, and fluids.

Sometimes, the virus causes more swelling in the airway, which makes it difficult for your child to breathe, and treatment is needed.

If your child has noisy breathing or trouble catching their breath, call your pediatrician or seek care right away.

Despite its scary name, hand, foot, and mouth (HFM) disease is a common, contagious illness caused by different viruses.

Symptoms usually start like a common cold - with fever, runny nose, and sore throat - but then a rash with red spots or small blisters can appear.

Social media can help teens feel connected and a little less alone. For some kids, that really matters. Of course, there are real concerns that come with screen time, cyberbullying, and comparison culture. And, just like we teach teens to drive safely even though cars can be dangerous, we can also teach teens how to navigate the online world to keep them safe and feel connected.

In our newest blog, behavioral health specialist Rachel Wasser, CSW, at our Willow Creek office, explains more about the importance of connection for teens and safety tips for parents. Link in bio for full blog.

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.
