💊 Safety Sunday: Medicine Safety

Medicines can help children stay healthy when used correctly, but they can be dangerous if taken improperly. Keep all medicines up and away, out of children's sight and reach, return medications to a safe storage location immediately after use, and use a medication schedule when multiple caregivers are involved. In an emergency, contact Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222 for free, confidential guidance 24 hours a day.

When kids are anxious, it’s natural to want to help them feel better. But by trying to protect kids from the things that upset them, you can accidentally make anxiety worse. The best way to help kids overcome anxiety is to teach them to deal with anxiety as it comes up. With practice, they will be less anxious.

When a child gets upset in an uncomfortable situation and their parents take them out of the situation, they learn that getting upset is a good way to cope. Instead, it’s helpful for parents to let kids know that they’re going to be okay, even if they’re scared.

You can show your child empathy without agreeing with their fears. For example, you might say: “I know you’re scared to get this shot. It’s okay to be scared. You can get through this, and I’m going to help you.” It’s usually helpful to avoid leading questions (“Are you worried about the test tomorrow?”). Instead, ask open questions (“How do you feel about the test tomorrow?”). You can use your tone of voice and body language to show your child that you’re calm, which can help them stay calm too.

Parents can also help by keeping kids distracted before something that might be upsetting, like a doctor’s appointment. Sometimes it helps to talk with your child about what might happen if their fears came true. What would they do? Who would they ask for help? Having a plan can calm anxiety.

Finally, parents can model healthy ways of handling anxiety. Parents get anxious too, and that’s okay! The goal is to show your child that anxiety is normal and that it doesn’t have to be a big deal.

Healthy students learn better. Our School-Based Health Services team works alongside schools and community partners to help students access healthcare and support services where they spend much of their day: at school.

By providing in-person and telehealth services, the team helps address barriers to care while supporting students' physical, social, emotional, and behavioral well-being. Their work helps students stay healthy, engaged in learning, and connected to the resources they need to succeed.

School-Based Health Centers are available in select participating schools through OnTrack Greenville, a collaborative initiative focused on helping students stay on track academically and personally. This important work is supported by community partnerships and funding from The Duke Endowment, helping increase access to care for students in our community.

In the first year, babies learn to focus their vision, reach out, explore, and learn about things around them. They are also developing bonds of love and trust with their parents and others as part of social and emotional development. The way you cuddle, hold, and play with your baby will set the basis for how they will interact with you and others. Here is a positive parenting quick tip to help you support your baby during this time:

TALK TO YOUR BABY. THEY WILL FIND YOUR VOICE CALMING.
