To be able to identify a reading problem in their child, parents need to have a sense of the milestones of early literacy. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s literacy development, talk with your child’s doctor, teacher, or a speech and language specialist. The sooner your child gets the help they need, the easier it will be for your child to learn.

Anyone who has struggled with breastmilk supply has heard someone recommend “lactation cookies” as a remedy. These pricy treats are often marketed to help improve supply.

A study finally addressed this question. This study published in March 2023 was a randomized controlled trial (the highest quality research design) that examined whether lactation cookies actually cause an increase in breastmilk supply (see link in bio to read the full study).

This study included 176 mothers with exclusively breastfeeding 2-month-old infants. Participants were randomly assigned to eat “lactation cookies” with oatmeal, brewer’s yeast, flax seeds, and fenugreek or regular cookies every day for one month. They found NO significant differences between groups in the amount of milk produced, in the mothers’ perception of milk supply, or in how effective the mothers felt at breastfeeding. The specific cookies they used were Oatmeal Raisin Milkmakers® Lactation Cookie Bites.

TRANSLATION: You can probably save your money because lactation cookies are unlikely to increase your milk supply. Instead focus on ways supported by research such as frequent and on-demand breastfeeding, pumping after breastfeeding, and a LOT of skin-to-skin contact.

In the book "French Kids Eat Everything" by Karen Le Billon, a mother describes the year she spent in her husband’s native France trying to get her two small children in touch with the French way of life. The French seem to have a cultural sensibility about how to get their children eating healthy delicious food from a VERY young age.

Le Billon’s account of her time in France also demonstrates that French kids just don’t snack. Period. After school they have a small “meal”, sitting down at a table called le goûter. Typically it may be yogurt and fruit or bread and cheese. Then food is put away and there is no snacking until dinner.

What if kids get hungry? Well, hunger is a normal human sensation that kids get accustomed to, and it also helps them to eat more nutritious foods at mealtimes. A child who is faced with broccoli at dinner is more likely to eat it if she is not full of fishy crackers, pretzels, and fruit snacks. What's so sensible about the way the French kids snack is that the snack is limited, well balanced and satisfying. For kids that are doing after school activities, a satisfying and well-planned snack can hold them over until dinner without having to munch on snack food on the way home.

Here are five simple French-inspired rules regarding snacking for kids. Many of these can also be applied to adults too! Always contact your pediatrician if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's nutrition.

With most schools diving headfirst into all of the latest technological advances, one district is giving some students a weekly chance to step back for a bit.

Seaborn Elementary, in the Weathersfield Local School District recently began hosting a weekly get-together called the “Disconnect Club.” At the club, students rid themselves of electronic devices and spend an hour playing board games and socializing.

Stephanie Dota, a fifth- and sixth-grade social studies teacher at Seaborn and student council adviser, said the club was created as a way to let the students “get back to the basics of childhood.”

“We want kids to disconnect from their devices,” Dota said. “Get off their computers. Put their phones away.”

Approximately 30 students packed the library room at the club's most recent meeting. Kids from student council began setting up the games — Connect Four, Jenga Giant and various card games.

The students were organized into several groups playing different games. After a few minutes, they rotated to a new station to play another game. Competition was fierce from time to time with both cheers of victory and groans of defeat echoing throughout the library.

While the students at the get together seemed like experts at their specific activities, Dota said it took some time for the kids to learn the games.

“Even as a mom, my own kids don’t know basic games,” she said. “They didn’t know how to play Rummy, they didn’t know how to play War, and I was like ‘these are games we have to play.'”

After a tutoring session, Dota said the kids caught on quickly to the basics of the board games.

By the second get together, the student council members were leading the club.

The club has been popular since it began earlier this month. Dota said when the group was opened for sign-ups, it had space for 30 students. She said the club was completely filled within the first day of registration.

Children often have mixed feelings about returning to the classroom after summer break. Transitions are difficult for us all, but are especially difficult for young children.

In fact, a recent survey showed that 66% of parents reported that their children are anxious about returning to school (Loades et al., 2020).

While many of these anxious children will do just fine with a little encouragement from loved ones, others will need extra support. Here’s how to help:

1) Talk to your child about how they are feeling about the upcoming school year. What is one thing they are excited about? What is one thing they are nervous about? What is one thing they are wondering about?

2) If your child has expressed a lot of worries, validate your child’s worry AND encourage them to face their fears (e.g. “I know you’re feeling worried about going back to school. You haven’t been there in quite some time. But I know you can handle this! I’m here to help you”)

3) Talk to your child about what to expect on the first day (if you are not sure, you can reach out to the teacher to get more information). Write out the schedule for them and have them add pictures or create a book together describing what school will be like.

4) Drive or walk by the school a few times prior to the first day. Meet the teacher or other children in their classroom before school starts, if possible.

5) Read children’s books with your child in which the characters overcome their worries.

If your child continues to show anxiety about school or is refusing to attend school, consult with a mental health professional for help! Research shows that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is highly effective for treating school refusal (Heyne et al., 2002).

Your child’s growing independence from the family and interest in friends might be obvious by now. Healthy friendships are very important to your child’s development, but peer pressure can become strong during this time. Children who feel good about themselves are more able to resist negative peer pressure and make better choices. This is an important time for children to gain a sense of responsibility along with their growing independence.
