Concussion Clinic for Children, Youth Opens at MTS Iceplex - 0 views

  •  
    "The province and Winnipeg Regional Health Authority have opened up a new specialized concussion clinic for children at the MTS Iceplex. Youth who have suffered a concussion are referred to the clinic by the Children's Hospital to receive ongoing care. The program is expected to see up to 30 new pediatric patients under the age of 19 per week. "With school back in full swing, sports teams are hitting the field, court and ice. When our children are getting back into their activities, it can increase the risk of a concussion," said Health Minister Erin Selby. "For parents of a child who has suffered a concussion in the past, the biggest concern is if their child is ready to go back to school or sports. Concussion experts work with the family to treat the concussion, develop a care plan and monitor recovery to determine when the child can safely return to school or activities."

    "So you finally get the chance to meet one-on-one with your child's teacher - now what? Like a good Scout, be prepared: Educators agree that doing your homework before a parent-teacher conference can make a big difference. The Harvard Family Research Project's Tip Sheet for Parents suggests reviewing your child's work, grades and past teacher feedback. Ask your child about his experience at school and make a list of questions ahead of time to ask during the conference. Care.com - a website that matches parents with child caregivers - created a list of questions to print out and take with you. A good parent-teacher conference, experts say, should cover three major topics: the child, the classroom and the future."

iPads could be good for toddlers because they are more like traditional play - Telegraph - 1 views

  •  
    "Not all screen time is bad for toddlers as iPads and smartphones can help them learn in the same way as interactive play, scientists have found. Last year the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) recommended that children should have TV-free days and limit screen time to a daily maximum of two hours. Yet new research from the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health at Cork University Hospital in Ireland suggests that touch screen technology has a different impact on the brains of toddlers to simply passively observing a programme."

9 Ways To Support A Culture Of Wellness In Your School - - 2 views

  •  
    "General wellness is an important concept for leading a healthy life wrapped up in a generic term. What does wellness look like and how can you encourage it in a class setting? Sketch-noter Sylvia Duckworth created the graphic above to share tips for supporting a culture of wellness in schools.  Children spend a significant amount of each week day in a classroom, making it not only a place to learn academics but also an opportunity to teach life skills that will serve them beyond the schoolyard, like self-care, community involvement, and fostering a sense of connection and belonging.
