certainly there's no doubt that reading is fundamental and as important as is might be to read to full term infants to stimulate brain development, even if it's not scientifically proven, it seems like it might be even more important to read to odin given the micropreemie odds of "invisible" disabilities.
and while we've been reading to odin since our earliest days in the nicu he's spent many of the past few months seemingly more interested in chewing on books rather than reading them.
but every so often, he'll intentionally pick up a book - even occassionally turning it "right side up" - and casually flip through the pages scanning from left to right, all the while looking quite enthralled with the content and not the least bit interested in having mamma or pops lend a helping hand.
He kept saying he was a "witch", and I was like no no.. you are a warlock, an evil wizard gone crazy-wrong in the womb.

Lebanese school children participating in a Nestlé Ajyal Salima classroom session. As part of the global commitment, the Middle East’s Nestlé Healthy Kids programme, called Ajyal Salima, which in Arabic means "healthy generations", is based on an educational methodology developed for the region by the American University of Beirut under the name “Kanz Al-Soha”. The programme involves 12 educational sessions per round, including fun interactive learning and hands-on activities; as well as questionnaires developed to track improvement of children from pre to post interventions. It’s also designed to enable teachers to integrate sessions into different classroom subjects, such as science, math, art, language and more.

My neighbor, who is a 5-year old little girl, has had heart problems since birth and in pain frequently, but she isn't able to get treatments for her heart because she doesn't have any insurance to cover it. Her father is here studying and can't afford to buy insurance. Whenever I see her, I feel sorry for her… I'd like to become a doctor and help the poor. – Donghyun Lee, 5th grade, Bellflower, CA

it's funny how easily one can slip into the easy habit of subconsciously reinforcing gender stereotypes at a very early age, especially when it comes to toys. even though i'm relatively cognizant that savvy marketing is behind the perceived difference between a barbie doll and, say, g.i. joe, i'll admit that i had to pause when kris came home and pulled a doll out of a bag from a recent shopping trip. it's certainly not that i'm against boys playing with dolls; in fact, it's fascinating to me that my first, immediate reaction was surprise that she hadn't picked him up a dump truck precisely because i didn't really think i had any preconceived notions about what makes an appropriate toy for a boy. in theory, i didn't care, but there it was, the surprised reaction, proving that maybe i did. just a little at least.
of course, odin doesn't care one wit and quite likes his new doll. it looks a little like him ( and is a bit bigger than he himself was when he was born ) and he likes playing with the doll's face when he's not using its hands to sooth his teething pain.
so, maybe now i'll be a little more prepared if someday he asks for a barbie doll.

I once saw my mother try to help an immigrant family who was sick but they didn't have health coverage. Both parents had cancer and the child had an injury, and they didn't know what to do. My mom tried to help this family by getting information and helping with language translation, but they had limited options. I realized how helpless people can be without proper medical attention. – Christian Tae, 6th grade, Clifton, VA

We should be taking care of our citizens more than we are now. The economy is bad and right now a lot of people can't afford a lot of things. If people have to choose between paying for basic things, it'll be health insurance that people stop paying for. Then those kids are going to be in jeopardy. – Gary Olguin, 9th grade, Lakewood, CO

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.
