Wishing all our wonderful families at Pediatric Associates of Springfield a happy, safe, and restful Labor Day weekend!

Whether you’re spending the long weekend at the pool, grilling in the backyard, or exploring local parks, check out these quick safety reminders to keep your family protected:

🌊 Water Safety: Assign a dedicated adult "Water Watcher" whenever kids are in or near water—put phones away and focus entirely on the pool or lake. Make sure weak swimmers and boaters wear properly fitted, U.S. Coast Guard–approved life jackets.

☀️ Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen at least 15 minutes before heading outside, and reapply every 2 hours (or right after swimming/sweating).

🐝 Bug & Tick Prevention: Use insect repellent containing DEET (10% to 30%) or Picaridin for children older than 2 months. Remember to do a tick check after outdoor play in grassy areas!

🔥 Grill Safety: Keep children at least 3 feet away from hot grills and fire pits, and never leave cooking areas unattended.

🚨 HOLIDAY HOURS REMINDER:
Pediatric Associates of Springfield will be CLOSED on Monday, September 7 in observance of Labor Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, September 8 at 8:00 AM.

Many parents don’t realize that using too much soap or bathing too often can actually dry out a child’s skin by stripping away its natural oils, leading to itching, irritation, and discomfort. In some children, bubble baths, daily shampoos, and soapy bath water can also contribute to ge***al irritation or dry, itchy scalp.

For most young children, bathing 2–3 times per week with warm water is often enough, and soap is not always necessary especially for those with dry skin. When soap is used, choose a mild option, and always follow bathing with a moisturizer to help protect and restore the skin barrier. Teens should use mild soap only on key areas like the armpits, feet, and ge***al area.

⚠️ Turn on hazard lights and use warning triangles or flares if you have them.
📸 Document the crash, take photos, exchange information, and file a police report.
🩺 Follow up with a doctor if they feel sore, dizzy, or off in the days after.

"I just don’t feel like I fit in." It’s a phrase many parents hear, but there is a big difference between "fitting in" and truly belonging. Helping kids find a sense of security and acceptance—whether in the classroom or at home—is key to building lifelong resilience.

Notice a small, persistent red bump on your child's skin? It could be molluscum.

Our experts share quick facts about this common childhood virus:
🔍 The Look: Firm, pink or flesh-colored bumps with a distinct "dimpled" center.
🧼 Contagious: Spreads easily through touch or shared toys. Keep bumps covered and wash hands often.
⏳ Patience is Key: Bumps are harmless and usually clear up on their own within 6 to 12 months.

Welcome back to school, Springfield families!

Trading summer freedom for alarm clocks and busy afternoons can take a little time to get used to. To help your children hit the ground running, here are 5 top back-to-school tips:

1️⃣ Re-establish Healthy Sleep Patterns

Prioritize regular bedtimes and wake-up times to keep young minds sharp. School-age kids thrive on 9–12 hours of sleep per night, while teens do best with 8–10 hours.

2️⃣ Power Up with a Balanced Breakfast

Give your students the fuel they need! A morning meal with protein, complex carbs, and fruit helps improve concentration, memory, and behavior in the classroom.

3️⃣ Set Up a Distraction-Free Homework Spot

Designate a quiet, organized space for learning at home—away from TVs, gaming consoles, and smartphones—to encourage steady focus.

4️⃣ Go Over Commute Safety Rules

Whether walking, biking, or taking the bus, review safe habits with your kids. Remind bus riders to stand well back from the curb and cross only in front of the bus when given the signal.

5️⃣ Talk Through Back-to-School Nervousness

It's totally normal for kids to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. Keep lines of communication open, validate their worries, and focus on the fun milestones ahead.

The entire team at Pediatric Associates of Springfield wishes all of our patients a healthy, joyful, and successful school year. We're always here to partner with you in keeping your kids well!

School is just around the corner! Choosing the perfect backpack is a back-to-school tradition - but making sure it fits properly is just as important.

A backpack that’s too heavy or worn incorrectly can lead to shoulder, neck and back pain. To help keep kids comfortable and safe this school year:

✔️ Keep backpacks between 10–20% of your child’s body weight.

✔️ Choose a backpack with two wide, padded straps and multiple compartments.

✔️ Pack heavier items closest to your child’s back.

✔️ Encourage kids to use both shoulder straps and adjust them so the backpack sits snugly in the middle of their back.

✔️ Leave unnecessary items at home to lighten the load.

A few simple adjustments can help protect growing muscles and joints all year long.
