Notes from Nurse Juli

Winter Flu Tips Influenza causes more hospitalizations among young children than any other vaccine-preventable disease. The single best way to protect against seasonal flu and its potential severe complications is for children to get a seasonal influenza vaccine each year. Flu vaccination is recommended for all children aged 6 months and older. Making healthy choices at school and at home can help prevent the flu and spreading flu to others. Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way. Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. Encourage children, parents, and staff to take the following everyday preventative actions to prevent the flu. Please contact Juli Hazelwood/Youth Nurse if you have questions regarding your child's health. Lincoln Center: 651-457-9478 Office: 651-306-3697 Kaposia: 651-288-6866

Building Bright Futures

Co-Parenting: Making it Work We aren't given a manual on how to raise our tiny humans, aka our children. Bottom line parenting IS hard and not always intuitive. Take the complexities of parenting and layer on 2 (or more) parents who aren't married and it makes it feel almost impossible! This course will outline the basics to help make co-parenting easier. With education, tips, tricks, and communication skills, reducing stress for the kids and the parents is possible!
