SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN
PARENTS: Time spent with your children is a great way to invest in your children's futures.
Kids are eager to learn and who better to teach them than you. Even at an early age, infants and toddlers are learning about the world around them. There are simple things you can do to encourage learning and help feed your child's developing mind, which can set the stage for a bright future. Visit the Pennsylvania Promise website for some time-spending tips for you and your young child. Also, check back soon for some family summer outdoor tips.

VACCINATION GUIDANCE FOR FLU SEASON AND SCHOOL YEAR 2010-2011
The Immunization Workgroup and the PA Department of Health provide guidance for handling the flu season and to parents who have children of school age.
The Tioga County Partnership for Community Health wants you to be and stay healthy, so remember to step outdoors and be physical activity, eat your fruits and veggies, get plenty of rest, reduce your mental stress, wash your hands often, and check with your doctor about getting a flu shot. Step right through this flu season with an attitude of prevention!
Note from the Immunization Work Group
The Immunization Workgroup wants parents to be informed about the vaccination requirements for children attending school during the 2010-2011 school year. View the document below and compare it with your child's vaccine record to see if he/she is up-to-date.

A PROMISING FUTURE FOR YOUR CHILD
Pennsylvania's Promise for Children encourages you to be a part of your child's early learning and development. Spend quality time with your child.
With the arrival of every newborn baby, come comments like, “she definitely has mom’s eyes” or “he looks like his dad’s side of the family”. But these genetic similarities tell only half the story about the child’s future and who she will become. The experiences that a child has in the first few years of life help shape the way he understands language, the way she communicates with others and interacts with the world, how he solves problems, and how she views herself. These are the years of brain development and parents have the important job of surrounding their child with a stimulating and healthy environment. Check out the documents below for ways to give your “chip off the ol’ block” the best chance at a promising future.
