Keiki Dental

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that the American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1?

The sooner children begin getting regular dental checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives. Early checkups help prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating, and other medical issues. Youngsters with healthy teeth chew food easily, learn to speak clearly, and smile with confidence.

The American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1 – or as soon as the first tooth appears. This “well-baby visit” teaches parents and caregivers how to care for their children’s teeth and help them remain cavity-free.

Learn more about proper keiki dental at Ko’olauloa Health Center.

Vaccinations & Boosters

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Are you and your family up-to-date with your vaccinations and boosters?

“Vaccines continue to offer our best protection against both flu and COVID-19 and now keiki as young as six months old can benefit from that same protection. Parents with questions about vaccines are encouraged to ask their healthcare providers for guidance,” said Health Director Dr. Elizabeth Char, FACEP.

Nurse Practitioner Week

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Did you know that this week is National Nurse Practitioner Week?

Nurse Practitioner Week takes place annually in the second week of November to recognize these incredible healthcare providers and raise awareness of the powerful role they play in ensuring general health and well-being.

Can you believe that the nurse practitioner profession has been in existence for 56 years now? Nurse practitioners are highly educated and trained medical professionals who are almost like doctors. In addition to their fundamental roles as registered nurses, they can provide primary care, counseling, and diagnosis, offer health education and write prescriptions.

Let's celebrate all of our Ko’olauloa nurse practitioners this week together! Mahalo!

Positive Things to say to Kids

Aloha ‘Ohana - we hope everyone is safe on this rainy Monday. While we were getting ready for the week and the new year, we were thinking of our community’s keiki and how we can continue to be a positive influence.

Going back to basics - Words Matter…

Certainly, words can become meaningless when they aren’t followed with action, but nonetheless, words have great power. You can choose to add more positive ones to your days.

What phrases do you say each day to your children?

Which ones do you want them to remember?

What do you say that will stay with your children for the rest of their lives?

Coming up with a few encouraging words for kids or positive phrases to say may tip the scales toward the kindness you want your keiki to imitate.

Here is an abbreviated list of things to say to your children that may inspire you*

- You are loved

- You make me smile

- I think about you when we’re apart

- My world is better with you in it

- I will do my best to keep you safe

- Sometimes I will say no

- I have faith in you

- I know you can handle it

- You are creative

- Trust your instincts

- Your ideas are worthwhile

- You are capable

- You are deserving

- You are strong

The complete list will appear in the News section of our new website which will be launching very soon!

Mindfulness

Aloha Ohana! It’s Mindful Monday here at KHC.

Let’s be honest - as beneficial as mindfulness is, tuning in to your surroundings, surrendering to the moment, and embracing whatever thoughts pop up aren’t always as easy as it sounds. It takes effort—but with continued practice, mindfulness can make a big difference in your day-to-day life.

Here are a few quotes on mindfulness to inspire you to live in the present this coming week.

“Mindfulness isn’t difficult. We just have to remember to do it.” – Sharon Salzberg

“You can’t stop the waves but you can learn how to surf” – Jon Kabat-Zinn

“When you’re feeling frazzled, put all of your attention on the breath. It’s a portal into the present moment, the best remedy for stress.” — Ellen Barrett

“Mindfulness clears the windshield of the mind so that we can see things as they really are.” — Travis Eliot

Have a great week everyone!
