Be Healthy

photo of childSkills to Practice this Month

See that your child has had required immunizations and a current health examination. Check with your child’s doctor to be sure that she is up to date on required immunizations. Keep a copy of your child’s immunization record. Make an appointment for your child to have a medical check-up before entering kindergarten.

Help your child learn to eat and wash her hands and face by herself. Help your child practice blowing her nose and covering sneezes. Talk to your child about germs and how they can make us sick.
