Child Health - Healthy kids are better equipped to face school days challenges.
Did you know 50 -80% of school children have health concerns?
Why is it that children are more prone to infections?
It is primarily because their immune system is not fully developed as in adults.
Secondly, frequent exposure to germs and at times access to street/unhygienic food increase their susceptibility to infections.
What are the common health concerns faced by school children?
The most common conditions are:
Cough & cold
Nutritional deficiencies
Head lice
Worms in the stomach
Childhood obesity
Skin infections
Vision related issues
Dental problems
Do you know, most of the above conditions are preventable?
Wondering how you, as a parent can help protect your kids’ health?
1. The first step to prevention - Vaccination
Make sure your child’s vaccines are up to date with National Immunization Schedule
2. Regular annual checkups
WHO recommends that children be screened for
Height & weight
Tooth decay
Refractive errors
Hearing disturbances
3. Practice good hygiene
Teach them to
wash their hands, especially before and after meals, after using the toilet and after blowing their nose
avoid sharing food and drinks when they are sick
cover nose and mouth while coughing or sneezing
be careful with the use of personal items such as combs, hats and scarves. It is best to avoid sharing such items.
4. Deworming
Deworming either annually or biannually helps in better absorption of nutrients, thus preventing several avoidable illnesses. Consult your physician for the same.

DIET:
Year-round food habits of adults are heavily oriented toward conifer needles except in spring/summer, but this varies among areas. Proportions of different food items used may vary among sex/age classes; e.g., juveniles eat mainly animal matter in first 3 to 4 weeks of life, and coastal males may feed mainly on conifer needles, even on breeding range. Amount of conifer in winter diet is usually > 90%, but the main genera may vary among areas, e.g., Pseudotsuga and/or Pinus for interior birds; Abies, Pseudotsuga, and/or Tsuga for coastal birds
WINTER. Conifer needles are staple items, late autumn to early spring; also smaller amounts of conifer buds, twigs, and staminate cones. Douglas-fir and true firs (especially Abies grandis and A. nobilis, and A. concolor provide the major winter diet for some populations. Some pines, especially lodgepole and limber pine, provide principal foods in other areas. Western hemlock and mountain hemlock may provide most of the winter diet for north coast and some high altitude populations, respectively.
Red-necked Phalarope, Turri Road Tidal Ponds, Los Osos, CA
Spinning on the water
In a crowd, there’s a tendency for almost all phalaropes to spin counterclockwise. But in less crowded situations, individual phalaropes have been seen with right-hand or left-hand spins; a few changed directions, others did not. - www.heraldnet.com/life/phalaropes-are-shorebirds-of-a-dif...
Food Capture And Consumption
Visual forager, pecking prey from water. May up-end, but normally pecks at, or just below, surface; rarely, submerges head and neck. Mostly forages by rambling along a more or less linear track, but most conspicuous and well-known phalarope feeding behavior is a top-like spinning on surface of water. This behavior, shared by all phalaropes, has long been suspected of stirring up prey from bottom in shallow water or stimulating prey immobilized in cold water. Individuals rarely spin in moving water.
Migration
Breeds on the Arctic tundra; migrates inland or on the ocean; winters on the ocean.
Postbreeding, Red-necked Phalaropes migrate to pelagic wintering areas either over the open ocean or via inland bodies of water of all sizes and description. In western North America, tens of thousands use hypersaline lakes as fueling stations on their way south to the Humboldt Current off Peru and Ecuador.
Very little is known about the migratory or wintering biology of the species at sea; our most detailed information about migration comes from Mono Lake, a saline lake in California.
Migrants use inland lakes, marshes, ponds, shallow wetlands, flooded fields, and sewage ponds, especially in coastal western North America. Normally on inland waters in small numbers, except at saline lakes in Great Basin (e.g., up to 1 million at Great Salt Lake, UT, tens of thousands at Mono Lake, CA, and thousands at Lake Abert, OR.
At Mono Lake, CA, feeding flocks concentrate (especially in morning) near submerged tufa groves and/or submerged vegetation in shallow areas and feed on emergent (flightless) adult brine flies (Ephydra hians), and brine-fly pupae and larvae suspended in water column. Later in day, emergence rates drop and flocks move farther offshore.

Diet
Mostly insects. Analysis of 53 stomachs showed the following Beal (40): about 80% animal matter, consisting of beetles
Vegetable matter was found in 15 of the 53 stomachs and made up about 20% of contents: 2 stomach contents included Rubus (blackberry) seeds, 5 with Blue Elderberry (Sambucus nigra), 1 possibly with apple (Malus sp.), 1 with flower buds, and 9 with Pacific Poison Oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) seeds.
Almonds (Prunus sp.) recorded in diet (Miller and Bock [3], citing Emlen [41]). Adult pair observed to visit sap holes created in non-native birch (Betula sp.) by Red-breasted Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber) and juvenile (hatch-year) bird seen to feed on sap from Red Willow (Salix laevigata) by enhancing sap flow from natural bark-break injury by fresh pecking (3).

Hairy Woodpecker, Cayucos Creek Road, Cayucos, CA
Drumming = "Percussion"
www.audubon.org/news/hear-differing-drumbeats-woodpeckers
"Early spring resounds with the percussive hammering of woodpeckers. Their rhythmic drumming works like many birds’ songs: it broadcasts to other woodpeckers over a long distance a clear assertion of territorial and mating rights.
We also hear woodpeckers knocking on wood when they're carving holes in trees to create nest cavities or extract insect prey, but these whacks are more methodical
For any woodpecker, it’s all about proclaiming a sound signal as far and as loud as possible."
birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/haiwoo/cur/foodhabits
Percussion not a means of securing prey, but rather a means of locating prey by rapidly tapping along a branch or trunk, presumably in order to hear resonance produced when tapping is above tunnel of a wood-boring insect.
Excavation is means by which wood is chiseled away to reveal a tunnel from which prey might be extracted. Excavation intimately associated with and is the method used to capture prey revealed by percussion. Excavation to retrieve prey not synonymous with excavation as used in creation of nest and roost cavities. In a foraging context, consists of chipping or chiseling small to large holes in bark, into cambium, or into wood of a trunk or branch, live or dead, by digging into those substances with bill. Hairy Woodpecker tends to excavate narrow, deep holes in which to probe for prey

Food Capture And Consumption
...four capture methods: diving, head-skimming, dipping, and pecking... Forages singly on breeding grounds, migration, staging lakes... ...
Surface-feeding common; skims or pecks food from water, emergent rocks, floating wood, vegetation; and occasionally plucks insects (brine flies) from the air. Underwater, all sizes of prey are probably captured singly and swallowed underwater, as never reported bringing food to surface.
When food scarce, dives often preceded by dipping head and peering under water. In extreme cases will tip up like dabbling duck in water too shallow to allow diving, probing into mud like a shorebird. Birds using such behavior are extremely light and in danger of death...
Main Food Taken
Wide variety of aquatic prey, principally invertebrates including small crustaceans, insects, also less frequently takes small fish, mollusks, amphibians.
Microhabitat For Feeding
Prefers shallow saline ponds, lakes; also near shore in coast, bays. Obtains prey from bottom substrate, gleans from submerged rocks and vegetation.

Kids should recognize food as a fuel 💪and not as a reward🎁. Rewarding your kids with specific foods (like chocolate🍫🍪🍭🍬) will lead to poor eating habits❌ such as eating when not hungry, desiring😋 this specific food every time they do something good💭 and maybe as a reward during stressful periods😖.
.
.
Example of non-food rewards that should be available when your kids do something good:
.
👍 Stickers
.
👍 Small and cheap toys🎨: coloring notebooks, coloring pens, play dough and puzzles
.
👍Play-dates👬👫
.
👍Special time with parents👪
.
👍Trip to the park🌳, zoo🐘, pool🏊, or movies🎬
.
.
.
نصيحة اليوم: لا تكافئ طفلك بالطعام
.
يجب أن يعتبِر الطفل الطعام غذاء💪 وليس مكافأة🎁. عندما تكافِئ طفلك بالطعام🍫🍪🍭🍬 فإنك تقوم بتكوين عادات غير صحية❌ كتناول الطعام دون الشعور بالجوع😋 أو عند فعل شيء جيد 💭 أو ربما عند الشعور بالضغط النفسي😖 (فقد يلجأ إلى الطعام للشعور بالراحة).
.
.
فيما يلي أمثلة عن مكافآت لا تتضمن الأكل ينبغي توفرها بشكل دائم لمكافأة طفلك:
.
👍ملصقات بشخصيات الرسوم المتحركة المفضلة لديهم
.
👍ألعاب صغيرة الحجم ورخيصة🎨: كالمعجون، دفاتر التلوين، الألوان، الألغاز.
.
👍موعد لعب مع أصدقاءه (او أصدقاءها)👬👫
.
👍وقت مخصص له مع والديه👪
.
👍رحلة إلى المنتزه🌲، المسبح🏊، حديقة الحيوانات🐘، أو مشاهدة الأفلام🎬

More photos below.
I visited Ding Darling NWR on Sanibel Island early in the morning this past weekend. Along the wildlife drive, I noticed a few snowy egrets in a dark opening in the mangroves that line the road. When I got closer, I could see that there were more snowy egrets perched on the mangrove branches or standing on the sandy edge of the water flowing under the mangroves. There were 12-15 birds taking turns flying low over the water and returning to a perch. Most of the birds were dragging or raking their yellow feet along the surface of the water. Quite often, they would catch a small fish. It was fascinating to watch and reminded me of an intersection with a four-way stop. Birds would wait for a turn. Some seemed more aggressive than others and other birds hesitated. The birds that hesitated waited a long time. In a few cases, especially after a long wait, two or three birds would fly out at the same time. When that happened, there was an abrupt change in one or more flight paths. The whole thing was a strange mix of competition and cooperation.
I learned more about Snowy Egrets after reading an article on the Cornell Lab of Orinthology web site. Snowy Egrets have the broadest behavioral repertoire of all the North American herons. Their food capture behaviors include.. “standing, bill-vibrating (tongue-flicking), head-swaying, pecking, walking slowly, walking quickly, running, hopping, leapfrog feeding, wing-flicking, openwing-feeding, underwing-feeding, foot-stirring, foot-raking, foot probing, foot paddling, hovering, hover-stirring, dipping, disturb and chase, and foot-dragging.” It has been suggested that the color of their feet may help several of the foot movement behaviors. Snowy Egrets also have greater visual acuity than most other wading birds according to the Parsons and Master article:

Here is a nice winter scene to commemorate our first major snow of the year. I took this image a few years ago right after a larger snowstorm. It shows a bufflehead duck swimming across a nearby pond. Its striking white and black markings allowing it to blend into the snowy landscape.
The bufflehead is one of several duck species that breed in the lakes of the great boreal forests of Canada and then fly south to the Chesapeake Bay region. While hundreds of thousands of ducks still winter in the area, their numbers have decreased in the past half century, mainly due to degradation of the Bay.
