Get a healthy start to school year AMY SCHRADER

W

hile many parents are eager for the school year to begin, it's important

to remember that your kids won't be

allowed to register or start school unless you have turned in all of the necessary health forms to show that your child is up-to-date on immunizations and has completed any required physicals.

Dr. Jaime Garcia, with Brentwood Pediatrics, is an expert at making sure kids are healthy and prepared for school and sports. " It's so important for children and teenagers to have t heir annual well visits," said Shannon Moore, Brentwood Pediatrics' office manager. Wellness visits check children's hearing and vision and screen for diseases. It is also an opportune time for parents to sit down and speak with their children's pediatrician about any health concerns.

"So many topics are covered, such as motor, social and cognitive development; healthy eating habits, safety issues, bullying, peer pressure and more," Moore explained.

Many parents jot down a list of ques-

tions to bring to their children's annual check-ups. Having questions answered can be a tremendous rel ief. "Dr. Garcia has been our pediatrician for 16 years and during our visits he takes our concerns to heart," said Cathy Daniel, a Brentwood Resident. " He has always treated our family with the utmost care and respect."

These wellness visits are also the best time to make sure your children are up-todate on required immunizat ions. The state of California requires that children entering kindergarten show proof of Polio, DTaP. MMR Hepatitis B and Varicella (chicken pox) immunizations. All students entering seventh grade must show proof of the Tdap booster. Tdap protects against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough, which is highly contagious.

Students will not be allowed to start school without showing proof of immunizations unless they received an exemption.

Besides administering immunizat ions, Garcia's office also makes sure that kids are balancing physical activity with time spent in front of t he computer or TV. "While we are seeing an increasing number of kids who are overweight and have low Vitamin D levels, we are also seeing kids with overuse or repetitive use

Homework help for everyone

K

ids are more successful in school when parents take an

active interest in their homework. Parents

can be supportive by demonst rating study and organization skills, explaining a tricky problem or just encouraging kids to take a break. And who knows? Parent s might even learn a thing or two.

Confidence.

Kumon puts children on the path t o becom ing t h e confident, independen t, self-re li an t people all parents hope their children can be.

Here are some tips to guide the way so you can help your student s wit h t heir studies this school year: + Know t he teachers. Attend school event s, such as parent-teacher conferences, to meet your child's teachers. Ask about their homework policies and how you should be involved. + Set up a homework-friendly area. Make sure kids have a well-lit place to complete homework. Keep supplies, such as paper, pencils, glue and scissors, w ithin reach. + Schedule a regular study time. Some kids work best in the afternoon, following a snack and play period; others may prefer to wait until after dinner. + Help students make a plan. On heavy homework nights or w hen t here's an especially hefty assignment to tackle,

encourage your child to break up the work into manageable chunks. Creat e a work schedule for the night if necessary and take ti me for a 15-minute break every hour, if possible. + Keep distractions to a m inimum. This means no TV, loud music or phone calls.

Occasionally, though, a phone call to a classmate about an assignment can be helpf ul. + Make sure kids do t heir own work. Kids won't learn if t hey don't think for themselves and make their own mistakes.

Parents can make suggestions and help with directions, but it's a kid 's job to do the learning . + Be a motivator and monitor. Ask about assignments, quizzes and tests. Give encouragement, check completed homework and make yourself available for questions and concerns. + Set a good example. Do your kids ever

Healthy from page 38 injuries from sports," Moore said.

Kids do not have to be involved in team or competitive sports to be active.

Moore recommends swimming, biking, running, yoga and aerobics. "It's important to remember that growing bodies need rest too," Moore added.

If your kids are involved in school sports, getting their sports physicals completed in the summer will help you to be prepared for the upcoming season. Students who participate in middle and high school sports are required to receive an annual sports physical, which focuses on vitals, such as blood pressure, height and weight comparisons, and rules out any reasons why a child cannot safely participate in a sport

Diet is also a huge component of your child's health. As kids start school, it's important for parents to pack lunches high in protein and fiber that will burn off slowly, which gives kids enough energy to get through the day. Moore recommends cheese, chicken, yogurt, turkey, tuna, whole wheat bread, fruits and vegetables, and most importantly, water.

Brentwood Pediatrics is located at 1191 Central Blvd., SuiteD, in Brentwood. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. For more information or to make an appointment , call 925-240-7337.

see you diligently balancing your budget or reading a book? Kids are more likely to follow their parents' examples than their advice. + Praise their work and efforts. Post an aced test or art project on the refrigerator. Mention academic achievements to relatives. + If there are continuing problems with homework, get help. Talk about concerns wit h your child's teacher. Some kids have trouble seeing the board and may need glasses; others might need an evaluation for a learning problem or attention disorder.
