Did you know a flu shot during pregnancy protects two people at once?

When you get vaccinated, your body builds antibodies that cross the placenta and protect your baby too — which matters a lot, since babies can't get their own flu shot until 6 months old.

That means the flu shot you get today is quietly protecting your baby through their most vulnerable first months of life.

✅ Safe during any trimester
✅ Doesn't contain live virus — can't give you or baby the flu
✅ Most side effects are mild (sore arm, low fever for a day)

Did you know you can walk-in to our urgent care clinics, located in Rogers and Crystal, and get a flu shot with no appointment needed?

When it comes to screen time, if you only implement ONE rule, make it this: No devices in bedrooms at night.

This one habit:
• Improves sleep
• Reduces late-night scrolling
• Lowers anxiety and mood swings
• Is easy to enforce consistently

Parents, this rule applies to you too. Remember kids learn by example and this may help you sleep better too!

Every child forgets their backpack.
Every child gets distracted.
Every child has moments when they seem to have endless energy.

That's childhood.

What makes ADHD different isn't that these behaviors happen. It's how often they happen, how long they've been happening, and whether they're making everyday life harder for your child.

Parents often tell us they worry they're overthinking things. The truth is, asking questions doesn't mean you're looking for a diagnosis. It means you're paying attention.

If you're noticing similar concerns at home and your child's teacher is seeing the same struggles at school, it's worth bringing them up during your child's next appointment.
Sometimes the answer is reassurance. Sometimes it's the first step toward helping your child thrive. Either way, it's a conversation worth having.

If your child feels like they “can’t put their phone down”… it’s not a lack of discipline. It’s brain chemistry.

Social media is designed to trigger dopamine. The same reward system tied to food, connection, and motivation. For kids and teens, that system is even more sensitive. Meaning, social media is designed to keep them scrolling.

Which means:
• Notifications feel more rewarding
• Scrolling becomes harder to stop
• Comparison hits harder emotionally

This isn’t about blaming kids. It’s about understanding what they’re up against.
And helping them build habits that work with their brain, not against it.

Back-to-school season has officially begun...which means sniffles probably aren't far behind.

The good news? You don't need to keep your child in a bubble to help them stay healthy. A few simple habits really do make a difference:
✔ Wash hands before eating and after using the restroom.
✔ Send a refillable water bottle to help keep them hydrated.
✔ Aim for a consistent bedtime. Sleep plays a big role in supporting the immune system.
✔ Pack fruits, vegetables, and protein-rich snacks when possible.
✔ Keep your child home if they have a fever or are too sick to participate in school.

The first few weeks of school are when many common viruses begin making the rounds. While it's impossible to avoid every illness, healthy routines can help reduce the spread and support your child's recovery if they do get sick.

What's one thing your family always does to stay healthy during back-to-school season?

One of the most common questions we hear from parents during well-child visits is:
"Is this normal?"

Maybe your toddler isn't talking as much as another child their age. Maybe your preschooler has big emotions, or your child prefers playing alone instead of with a group.

Here's the good news: children aren't meant to develop on identical timelines.
It's completely normal for a child to excel in one area while taking a little longer in another. One child may be climbing everything in sight before their first birthday but only have a handful of words at age two. Another may be chatting nonstop but still working on coordination or confidence on the playground.

What matters most isn't comparing your child to others. It's looking at their overall progress and asking questions if something doesn't feel quite right.

If you've been wondering whether a behavior is "normal," don't be afraid to bring it up at your child's next visit. Sometimes the answer is reassurance. Sometimes an early conversation opens the door to support that can make a meaningful difference.

Every question is worth asking!

What your child sees on social media isn’t random. It’s curated… by an algorithm designed to keep them watching.

That means:
• One video about body image turns into dozens
• One sad post leads to more emotional content
• One curiosity can quickly become a full feed

Social media's goal isn’t safety. The goal is attention. And for kids, that matters.
Because developing brains don’t always pause and question what they’re seeing. They absorb it.

This is why “just limit screen time” isn’t enough.

What they’re consuming matters just as much as how long they’re on.
