Dolly Parton was known for many wonderful things, but one of her greatest legacies is the Imagination Library.

This incredible program mails enrolled children a free book every month from birth until their 5th birthday. Countless children have experienced the excitement of opening the mailbox and discovering a new book just for them!

Having books in the home can make a meaningful difference in early literacy and helps foster a lifelong love of reading.

If you havenโ€™t signed your child up yet, we encourage you to do so today! ๐Ÿ“–

A backpack should help your child carry what they needโ€”not carry unnecessary strain. Before the school year gets too busy, check that your childโ€™s backpack:

โœ”๏ธ Weighs no more than about 10โ€“15% of their body weight
โœ”๏ธ Has two wide, padded shoulder straps
โœ”๏ธ Is worn on both shoulders
โœ”๏ธ Fits snugly against the back
โœ”๏ธ Contains only the essentialsโ€”clean it out regularly!

If your child is experiencing back, neck, or shoulder pain from their backpack, talk with their pediatrician.

There are lots of activities in those first few daysโ€”go to them! Itโ€™s one of the easiest ways to meet other new students who are also looking to make friends.

If youโ€™re living in a dorm, keeping your door open (when youโ€™re around) invites conversation and helps you meet neighbors.

It takes time to adjust. Feeling a little homesick or out of place at first is completely normal.

If youโ€™re not feeling like yourself or having a hard time adjusting, donโ€™t hesitate to reach out to campus resources like counseling services, student health, or a trusted advisor. Youโ€™re not alone, and help is always available.

College is a big step, but you donโ€™t have to do it alone. Small actions can lead to lifelong friendships and a smoother transition. Weโ€™re cheering you on every step of the way!

โ€ข Have your child look out the front windshield instead of reading or using screens.
โ€ข Offer a light snack before travelingโ€”avoid heavy, greasy, or spicy foods.
โ€ข Encourage fresh air by cracking a window or using the air vents.
โ€ข Seat children where they feel the least motion (older kids do best in the middle of the back seat looking forward).
โ€ข Plan breaks on longer trips so they can get out, stretch, and get some fresh air.

If your child is over age 2 and experiences frequent or severe motion sickness, talk with your pediatrician. We can help determine if an over-the-counter medication or other treatment is appropriate before your next trip.

School is backโ€”and so are the germs!

Regular school attendance is important, and whenever possible, kids should be in school learning and growing. However, if your child is too sick to fully participate in the school day or may be contagious, it's best to keep them home to help them recover and prevent the spread of illness.

Our pediatric family is growing by two tiny feet! We had the sweetest time celebrating Nurse Summer as she gets ready to welcome her first baby boy very soon.

Summer spends her days caring for our littlest patients, and now sheโ€™s about to have a little one of her own to love and snuggle. We couldnโ€™t be more excited for her as she begins this beautiful new adventure!

Help us shower Summer with some love and well wishes in the comments! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŽ‰
