Ticks!!

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:15:32 GMT

Summer evenings outside mean more bug bites and tick encounters. After outdoor play, do a quick tick check - especially around the scalp, ears, underarms, and behind the knees. Use insect repellent appropriate for your child's age, and check labels for proper concentration. If you find a tick, remove it promptly with tweezers, grasping close to the skin. �� https://www.readingpediatrics.com/is-your-child-sick/Tick-Bite #SummerSafety #TickCheck #OutdoorPlay #PediatricCare

HEAT SAFETY

SUMMERTIME

Hot summer days mean kids need extra help staying cool. Kids sweat less efficiently than adults, so they're more prone to overheating. Watch for signs of heat exhaustion: heavy sweating, fatigue, dizziness, or nausea. Offer water frequently (not just when they say they're thirsty), dress them in light breathable fabrics, and never leave a child in a parked car - not even for a minute. �� https://www.readingpediatrics.com/ #HeatSafety #SummerHealth #PediatricTips #KidsHealth
