4 Year olds’ Physicals & Vaccinations

 

It is time to get a physical and vaccinations for your 4 year old in time for pre-school registration. (Will be 4 year old before 9/1/12).

 

All 5 year olds need a physical to register for Kindergarten.  

 

 

Media and Children

 

The American Academy of Pediatrics has designated April 30 through May 6 as screen free week. We urge families to try turning off the TV and other screens (video games and computers), and spend time doing other activities like reading, hiking, playing games or gardening.

 

Media is everywhere. TV, Internet, computer and video games all vie for our children's attention. Information on this page can help parents understand the impact media has in our children's lives, while offering tips on managing time spent with various media.

 

The AAP recommends that parents establish "screen-free" zones at home by making sure there are no televisions, computers or video games in children's bedrooms, and by turning off the TV during dinner. Children and teens should engage with entertainment media for no more than one or two hours per day, and that should be high-quality content. It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies, and using their imaginations in free play.
