Seasonal allergies are often called hay fever or allergic rhinitis. They occur when your immune
system has an adverse reaction to airborne substances, which are typically harmless.
These substances, known as allergens, are most often pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.
Depending on where you live, different plants might be the primary culprits.
● Spring - Trees such as oak, maple, and pine
● Summer - Grasses like ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and Bermuda
● Fall - Weeds such as ragweed, sagebrush, and lamb quarters

Children can exhibit a range of symptoms when they have seasonal allergies. Some of these
symptoms can easily be mistaken for a cold or other illness, so its important to recognize them.

What is RSV, and why is it a concern?

RSV, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus, is a common virus that can cause mild cold-like symptoms in older children and adults. However, it can be much more severe in infants and young children, particularly those under the age of 2. RSV can lead to bronchiolitis and pneumonia, which can be life-threatening for infants.

We are dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of your precious little ones. We understand the concerns and questions you may have about keeping your children safe and healthy, especially during the challenging cold and flu season!

Children attending day care and pre-K through 12thgrade in New York State must receive all required doses of vaccines on the recommended schedule in order to attend or remain in school. This is true unless they have a valid medical exemption to immunization. This includes all public, private, and religious schools. A medical exemption is allowed when a child has a medical condition that prevents them from receiving a vaccine. There are no nonmedical exemptions to school vaccine requirements in NYS.

Within 14 days of the first day of school or day care, parents must:

Show proof of their child's up-to-date vaccinations,
OR
Provide a valid medical exemption from vaccination.
In order to attend or remain in school or day care, children who are unvaccinated or overdue must receive at least the first dose of all required vaccines within the first 14 days. They also must receive subsequent vaccines in the series within a 14-day period of when they are due to complete the immunization series.

As the warm sunshine and laughter-filled days of summer approach, it's time to prepare your little superheroes for an unforgettable season of fun and adventure! At Village Pediatric Group, we're here to guide you on how to ensure your children have a safe and enjoyable summer. 🌈🏖️

🍉 Here are some essential tips to help you get your kids ready for a fantastic summer experience:

1 Stay Hydrated: Hydration is key during the hot summer months! Encourage your children to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Create a fun challenge by using colorful water bottles or adding natural flavors like fresh fruit to make staying hydrated exciting!

2 Sun Protection: Protecting your child's delicate skin from harmful UV rays is crucial. Apply sunscreen with a high SPF before outdoor activities and reapply every few hours. Don't forget to provide them with wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and lightweight, breathable clothing for extra protection.

3 Stay Active: Summertime is perfect for outdoor play! Encourage your children to engage in physical activities that promote healthy growth and development. Organize family outings to the park, go for bike rides, or play games that involve running, jumping, and exploring nature.

4 Healthy Eating Habits: Fresh fruits, veggies, and nutritious snacks are essential for your child's well-being. Encourage them to enjoy seasonal produce like juicy watermelons, berries, and colorful salads. Make healthy eating fun by involving your children in meal planning and preparation.

The current illness season has been brutal for parents and kids alike. Visits to the doctor and school and parental absenteeism from work have been at record levels. And when illnesses seem back-to-back, it’s tricky to determine when it’s safe and appropriate to send them back to the classroom or daycare.

Keeping kids home when they’re contagious with illness is a critical way to reduce the spread of sickness to others. In addition, many viral illnesses suppress the immune system, making recovering kids more susceptible to new illnesses if they return to the classroom too quickly.

Sick kids are not good learners. Not only are sick kids potentially spreading illness to others, their day is not effective or productive. Humans are meant to rest and recover as the body fights disease. A busy classroom setting is not conducive to this important work.

Between the ages of 11 and 18, an adolescent experiences many physical and emotional changes that
can pose complex physical and mental health concerns requiring age-focused patient care that
addresses:
 Healthy lifestyle habits
 Sexual health
 Hormone issues
 Menstrual issues
 Nutrition and weight management
 Skin care
 Substance abuse
 Stress management
 Gynecology
 School, family, and home concerns
 Social pressures
 Sexuality- and gender-related topics
 Relationships
 Eating disorders
 Depression or anxiety
A particular area of concern among adolescents is mental health. Many children and young people
experience psychological and emotional disorders. In fact, some conditions, such as eating disorders, are
more prevalent in children and adolescents than in adults. Often, mental health problems and
behavioral disorders are challenging to identify, because it is difficult for a young person to discuss these
subjects and explain how they feel.

Sun damage to the body is caused by invisible ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Sunburn is a type of skin damage caused by the sun. Tanning is also a sign of the skin reacting to potentially damaging UV radiation by producing additional pigmentation that provides it with some, but often not enough, protection against sunburn.

Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. People of all skin colors are at risk for this damage. You can reduce your risk by:

Limiting your time in the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun’s rays are most intense.
Wearing clothing to cover skin exposed to the sun, such as long-sleeve shirts, pants, sunglasses, and broad-brim hats. Sun-protective clothing is now available. (The FDA regulates these products only if they are intended to be used for medical purposes.)
Using broad spectrum sunscreens with a SPF value of 15 or higher regularly and as directed. (Broad spectrum sunscreens offer protection against both UVA and UVB rays, two types of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.)
Reading the label to ensure you use your sunscreen correctly.
Consulting a health care professional before applying sunscreen to infants younger than 6 months.

If you have further questions or unique challenges in keeping your family safe in the sun, book an appointment at
www.VillagePediatricGroup.com to address your concerns.
