Nurse Notes
Summer is approaching and is a great opportunity for you to reinforce some healthy habits with your children.
- Encourage your children to stay physically active.
- Give your children healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables.
- Make sure they are staying hydrated and drinking lots of water.
- Schedule a bedtime and keep to it :). This will ensure that they are getting adequate amounts of sleep.
Have a wonderful and safe summer! I will look forward to seeing your precious children again in August.
