During the pandemic, you may have heard that COVID-19 is similar to the influenza (flu). COVID-19 and the flu are both contagious respiratory diseases, they are both caused by viruses, and they have some common symptoms. However, as seen in this post, COVID-19 and flu infections can affect people differently.

It is important to note that, since you cannot tell the difference between flu and COVID-19 by the symptoms alone, specific testing is necessary to tell what the illness is and to confirm a diagnosis.

Having a medical professional administer a specific test that detects both flu and COVID-19 allows you to get diagnosed and treated for the specific virus you have more quickly. Getting treated early for COVID-19 and flu can reduce your risk of getting very sick.

Bullying can affect everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and su***de. It is important to talk to kids to determine whether bullying—or something else—is a concern.

School demands many things that summer activities don’t — the ability to sit still, get organized, separate from their parents, etc. If your child suffers from anxiety, these demands can be very challenging. Here are 6 things parents need to know about starting school with vulnerable children:

1. MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS EMERGE AT BACK-TO-SCHOOL TIME: You can ease your child’s anxiety by modeling confidence and calm behavior, and by imposing structure in family life (mealtime, homework, and bedtime routines).

2. KIDS BRAINS ARE CHANGING DRAMATICALLY: The teen brain starts “pruning”— strengthening some synapses and eliminating many others and this temporary imbalance has been linked to teens’ erratic and risky behaviors, depression, and more. Set aside time each day to talk to your child about challenges and new experiences at school.

3. ANXIOUS PARENTS SEND ANXIOUS KIDS TO SCHOOL: Kids really are like sponges, absorbing the energy and adopting the behaviors around them. One of the most helpful things you can do is model calm, confident behavior.

4. TEACHERS MATTER, EVEN MORE THAN YOU THINK: Parents can get all kinds of information about a child from their teacher. Teachers are allies, and you should talk to them regularly.

5. HOMEWORK TIME IS CRUCIAL: Young children can benefit from their parents’ involvement during homework time. Parents should set aside time for a structured “homework session” each evening.

6. DON’T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS: A lag in one area of development doesn’t mean a child has a disorder. If you think there might be a problem with your child’s development, talk to their teacher.

We keep our Native culture thriving by protecting our next generation!

Safe to Sleep® Tip: Think about giving your baby a pacifier for naps and nighttime sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS (once breastfeeding is established, usually 3 to 4 weeks). Do not attach the pacifier to anything—like a strong, clothing, stuffed toy, or blanket—that carries risk for suffocation, choking, or strangulation.

Team snacks are tricky, and a lot of parents have different opinions about them. Most kids don’t play much during games, so they actually don’t need a fancy “recovery” snack. The snacks are just for fun! Focus on your budget and what snacks your team will eat. ⁠

Of course some kids are athletes and both trainings and games are intense. Focusing on nutrition for them can be important for their performance. ⁠

⁠🐄 Fun fact about chocolate milk: it actually rehydrates the fastest of hydration drinks—and it’s the perfect recovery drink if your child does need that.⁠

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends visiting an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) for the first time between ages 13-15. Some patients come to these visits with a symptom or specific question, but the goal of this visit is to allow all teenagers — those with or without concerns — to be proactive in learning about their anatomy, typical or atypical menstruation and the role of the gynecologist in the discussion of sexual or reproductive health concerns. Here is an overview of what your child can expect during their first gynecologist appointment. Always reach out do your child's doctor with any questions or concerns.
