Below are a few signs you may see if your children are overloaded

Although stress is a part of life and growing up, you need to intervene when you sense that it is undermining your child's physical or psychological well-being. Here are some clues that stress may be having too negative an effect.

• Your child develops physical symptoms like headaches and stomach pains.
• They seem restless, tired, and agi­tated.
• They appear depressed and are un­communicative about how they feel.
• They get irritable, negative, and show little excitement or pleasure in activities.
• They seem less interested in an ac­tivity that was once extremely im­portant to him and prefers to stay at home.
• Their grades at school begin to fall, and they have less interest than usual in attending classes and doing homework.
• They exhibit antisocial behavior such as lying and stealing, forgets or refuses to do their chores, and seem much more dependent on you than in the past.

School Attendance; Truancy and Chronic Absenteeism:

What parents need to know

 

 

         Missing just two days a month of school for any reason can be a problem for kids in a number of ways.

      Children who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade are less likely to read on grade level by the third grade.

     When absences add up, these students are more likely to be suspended and drop out of high school.  

          For older students, being chronically absent is strongly associated with failing at school―even more than low grades or test scores.

 

Head over to https://www.healthychildren.org to learn more about Chronic Absenteeism and Truancy and learn some helpful tips on getting your kids to school on time.

What do you enjoy most about being a part of Willow Creek Pediatrics?

There are several things I love about working here but the top few things would have to be the wonderful people I work with and our patients. Every employee here is so wonderful, they're kind, and they truly care about each other. I love each and every one of them. Our wonderful patients and their parents make this job so enjoyable that I want to come to work. Each patient and/or parent brings with them a unique challenge, which keeps my job really interesting and fun. They are simply the best patients in the valley and I look forward to seeing each of them every day! The last thing I love about my job is working with all the wonderful doctors. I have to admit, I especially love working with Dr. O'mara.
