🧠 National ADHD Awareness Month

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, self-control, and activity levels in children and adolescents.

While challenges may include focus, organization, and impulse regulation, many children with ADHD also demonstrate creativity, curiosity, and strong problem-solving skills.

Our team is committed to helping families better understand ADHD and providing support tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs.

Screens are part of family life now, and the goal is not to banish them but to keep them in a healthy balance.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests skipping screens for children under about eighteen months, except for video chatting with loved ones.

They also recommend limiting screen time to around an hour a day of high-quality programming for ages two to five, and setting steady, predictable limits as kids grow.

A few small boundaries go a long way: keep meals and bedrooms screen-free, watch together when you can, and remember that your own habits are the ones they notice most. If you would like a simple place to start, the AAP's Family Media Plan is a wonderful tool, and we are always happy to talk it through at a visit.

🧼🌍 Global Handwashing Day

Global Handwashing Day highlights one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent illness—proper hand hygiene.

As cold and flu season begins, regular handwashing with soap and water is essential in helping reduce the spread of germs in homes, schools, and the community.

Frequent handwashing remains a key step in keeping children and families healthier throughout the season.

💙 National Down Syndrome Awareness Month

October is a time to celebrate individuals with Down syndrome and recognize the value, joy, and contributions they bring to families and communities.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when an extra copy of chromosome 21 is present. While it can affect development and learning, every individual with Down syndrome has their own unique strengths, personality, and potential.

Our team is proud to support families with compassionate care and ongoing guidance at every stage of development.
