Quick parent challenge: pick up your child’s backpack.

If your first thought is, “What on EARTH is in here?”…it may be time for a backpack cleanout. 😂🎒

A backpack that’s too heavy or worn too low can add unnecessary stress to the shoulders and back. Keep heavier items close to the body, use both shoulder straps and regularly remove the stuff that doesn’t need to make the trip to school every day.

Their back will thank you.

Kids are pretty amazing...and so are their bones. 🦴💙

When a child breaks a bone, the body gets to work right away. New bone can begin forming within just a few weeks, and children often heal faster than adults.

Of course, every fracture is different, and full healing takes time, patience, and the right care. But with proper treatment, most kids are back to doing what they love before long.

Kids are tough. 💪

They run hard, play hard, fall down, bounce back and somehow still have enough energy to ask, “Can we stop for ice cream?” 😂🍦

We love helping young athletes stay healthy, active and ready for their next adventure.

Here's something a little different> I thought this would make a good share.
🍓 Gluten-free doesn’t have to mean fun-free. 😄

If your child needs to follow a gluten-free diet, figuring out what to make for breakfast, lunch, dinner… and the inevitable “I’m hungry” snack can sometimes feel like a full-time job.

Here’s a great resource from KidsHealth with kid-friendly gluten-free recipes the whole family might enjoy including smoothies, quesadillas, casseroles, popsicles and even a few treats. 🥤🌮🫐

Take a look, save a few favorites, and maybe let the kids help pick what’s for dinner!

⚾🥎 Fall Ball is underway—and baseball and softball season will be here before we know it!

As young athletes get back into throwing, hitting and fielding, remember that their bodies may need a little time to get back into game shape.

A few simple habits can help keep them healthy:
• Warm up before throwing at full speed
• Build throwing volume gradually
• Stay hydrated even when the weather cools down
• Pay attention to persistent shoulder, elbow or back pain
• Make recovery and rest part of the training plan

A little prevention now can help keep your athlete on the field all season long.

Here’s to healthy arms, strong swings and a great season ahead! ⚾🥎

Back-to-school season is a great time to check in on how your child is feeling about reading.

As classes get underway, you may notice that some skills come easily while others take a little more time. Every child develops at a different pace, so the goal isn’t to compare, it’s to look for steady progress and growing confidence.

If reading seems unusually frustrating or your child is struggling to keep up, talk with their teacher, doctor, or school reading specialist. A little extra support early in the school year can make a big difference.

This general outline describes the milestones on the road to reading and the ages at which most kids reach them.

There are few sounds better than a baby’s belly laugh. ❤️

Dr. Capelo recommends that you watch this video multiple times a day for maximum daily joy. Laughter is the best medicine 😁
