6, 7 years Nutrition To help your body become bigger, smarter, stronger, and faster, you need to eat three meals a day and snacks of healthy foods. You can probably think of many healthy foods that you like. Believe it or not, the foods you eat today will help you feel better not just tomorrow but also in 50 years! Remember that your body never needs junk food (candy, cookies, chips, soda-pop). These things sure taste good but do not help you grow or stay healthy. They also can cause cavities in your teeth. It is O.K. to have these treats for special times, but your body does not need them every day. You only have one body, so give it the best! Every once in awhile, try a food you did not think you liked. Just like the rest of your body grows and changes, your taste buds in your mouth do, too. You just may surprise yourself by liking something new. And don't forget to tell your mom or dad if you would like to help with the shopping or in making your meals. They would probably be very happy to have your help. Wellness Visits Pretty soon you will notice that you will start losing your teeth and new ones will grow in their place. Maybe you have already lost some. These new teeth are called "permanent" teeth. That means that you will have them for the rest of your life. No new teeth will come after these, so brushing your teeth 2-3 times a day is very important. You should also see the dentist for a tooth check-up 2 times a year. Teeth Your body needs 10-12 hours of sleep a night so it can store up energy for the next day. Sometimes it is hard to go to bed if you are doing something fun, but you know you are giving your body the best. Sleep Continue to sit in a booster seat while in the car. This will help the seatbelt keep you more safe, and will actually be more comfortable. Also, remember to continue sitting in the back seat (until you are 12). Always wear sunscreen if you are playing outside (summer and winter). Always wear your helmet if you are riding your bike or scooter or skateboard or if you are roller-blading, even if no one else does. You will be the smart person. Never go near water (lakes, pools, or rivers) without an adult nearby. Remember to wear your life-jacket if you are ever on a boat (it's a Minnesota State Law). Never take medicine (including vitamins) without your parents helping you figure out how much you need. Some medicines could make you very sick if you take too much or if you really do not need them. You are in charge of your body and who touches you. The only people who ever touch or look at your private parts are doctors and nurses (in a clinic or hospital), or your parents (if you ask them to). Talk with your family about what you would do if you needed help. Do you know how to use the "911" emergency system? Does your family have a fire safety plan? What would you do if a stranger came up to you? What if a dog you did not know started running toward you? Safety Most people your age spend a lot of time in school, learning from the teacher and making new friends. You will be really good at some things, and will need to work harder at others. Everyone is like this, even grown-ups. If you always try your best you can be very proud of yourself. Have fun with your friends and your different activities (sports, music, scouts) but remember that your family also wants to spend time with you. You may not always agree with members of your family or their rules. The best way to solve problems is to use your words and tell others how you feel. We also recommend that you spend no more than 2 hours a day playing video games, computer games, and watching TV. Check with your parents on what TV shows and games are OK. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year. By then you will be a few inches taller, a lot smarter, and have more fun stories about your life to share with us! Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all of your check-ups. Do something that makes you happy every day!

Tips for keeping your little ones happy and healthy throughout their childhood years. Never smoke around your child, never allow people to smoke in your home, and monitor second-hand smoke exposure away from home. Avoid gun possession in your home. If you do have one, make sure the gun itself is safety locked, is physically locked up (out of sight), and the ammunition is locked in a separate location with a separate lock. Make sure you have the appropriate car seat, booster seat, or seatbelt for your growing child. All children should sit in the back seat until age 13. Don't forget the safety belt with grocery carts and strollers, too. Set your hot water heater at 120 degrees or lower and check the temperature every few months. Learn CPR and basic first-aid. Make sure all sleeping areas (as well as other living areas) have working smoke detectors. Check them every month to make sure they work, and change the batteries every six months. Devise a fire plan for your home, and involve your child when you feel he or she is old enough. Install a carbon monoxide detector near all sleeping areas. Teach caution, safety, and respect around animals, especially your own. Always wear bike helmets for biking, skateboarding, in-line skating and while riding a scooter. It all starts with parents modeling, then enforcing, this rule. Constantly supervise cooking areas, and avoid drinking anything hot while near your child. Constantly supervise your child near water (including bathtubs and buckets). Start swimming lessons as soon as your child is ready. Always wear lifejackets when near deep water or while boating (Minnesota State Law requires all children under age 10 to wear a lifejacket when on a boat). Never drink alcohol (even a small amount) and drive, whether or not your child is in the car. Start using sunscreen during infancy and continue forever. Avoid using commercially-available insect repellents containing the chemical DEET until your child is at least two months old. If your child is involved in organized (or pick-up) sports as he or she gets older, make sure the playing fields or courts are safe and well maintained. Also make sure that all protective equipment fits well and is in good condition. Never take medication in front of children, regardless of their age. Make sure all medications have safety caps and are never accessible (the most common danger areas are unlocked medicine cabinets, cupboards, drawers, and purses). Many household plants and garden flowers/plants are toxic even with minor ingestion. Research the ones you have or are planning to purchase and eliminate any that are poisonous. Keep matches and lighters out of sight and inaccessible. Teach children (starting at appropriate ages) correct use of scissors, knives, tools, and electrical appliances. Climbing on furniture is dangerous, and causes many early trips to the emergency room for stitches. Start the rule when your child is an infant — climbing is not allowed. Continually update your childproofing. Keep small items out of sight and reach, even long after you've allowed supervised permission to play with these items. Keep the Poison Control phone number (800-222-1222) handy next to all of your home phones and programmed in your cell phone. Make sure your child's sleeping area is safe. The windows should only slightly open, the crib or bed rails should meet federal safety standards, the crib mattress should be lowered sooner than you feel you need to, sharp furniture should be padded or removed from the room, and exposed light bulbs should be covered and lamps placed up high with no dangling cords. Avoid using your cell phone when driving. Minnesota State Law prohibits provisional license holders (license holders under age 18) and permit holders from using a cell phone while driving. Make sure you have a list of numbers you can call (this can include friends, relatives, neighbors, health hotlines, etc.) in the event you need help with your child. Circumstances can include everything from health emergencies to parental stress. Learn about Shaken Baby Syndrome and make sure your child's caregivers know what this is, also. Never, ever, shake or hit a child. Discuss strangers with your children frequently. Help them be comfortable yet cautious around people they do not know, and guide their behavior around strangers. Also remind them that they should always check with a parent before going off with another person (even if the person is known to your child) Regardless of your child's age, get prepared to answer questions or initiate discussion about sexuality and health risks (smoking, alcohol, drugs). It is recommended that your child's blood be tested for lead if he or she: lives in or attends daycare in a home built before 1950 lives in or attends daycare in a home built between 1950-1978 with peeling or chipping paint lives in or attends daycare in a home known to have lead water pipes or lead-based paint (on the woodwork, walls, or outdoor siding) lives or attends daycare near a heavily traveled highway lives or attends daycare near a long-term construction site has lived in a major metropolitan area within the past 10 years has a sibling or close daycare acquaintance with high blood lead levels Safety Through The Ages Locations Chaska (952) 448-3847 Location & Hours Delano (763) 230-2780 Location & Hours Maple Grove (763) 324-8000 Location & Hours Minnetonka (952) 473-0211 Location & Hours Save time.

18 months Nutrition Offer 3-4 meals and 1-2 snacks a day of carefully cut table foods, and include 12 to 16 ounces of whole milk. Your child can eat the same foods that you do, and will probably wish to feed herself without your help. Fingers will still work much better than utensils, but encourage appropriate use of spoons and forks. Having your child eat only in her high chair (for all meals and snacks) encourages her to be a part of the family meal, and avoids "grazing" habits and potential choking situations. This is an excellent time to take your child completely off the bottle if you have not already done so. Carrying a bottle around the house can lead to cavities in the front teeth, and is a difficult habit to stop. The typical toddler eats well at only one or two meals each day (dinner is usually the pickiest) and eats better away from home. Avoid battles at the table. Your responsibility is to provide healthy food choices and praise whatever is eaten. You cannot make your child eat. See our handout "Feeding Your Toddler, Age 1 to 3" if you are interested in more information on age-appropriate serving sizes and choices. Wellness Visits Parents are encouraged to brush their child's teeth with a toothbrush twice daily. Toothpaste is unnecessary, but a small dab may be just the incentive for a resisting toddler. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends routine dental visits starting now. Oral Health Most children sleep 10-12 hours each night and may take one nap during the day. Be gentle, but firm, with nighttime and nap routine. If your child tries to climb out of the crib, place the mattress of the floor and start looking for the bigger bed. The convenience of the crib is not worth the risk of a fall. Sleep Believe it or not, you have already started toilet training your child. Every time you acknowledge her diaper you are giving information about her body that will be used later when she learns to use the toilet. Consider the terms you will want her to use regarding elimination, and be positive ("wet", "dry", "urine" versus "messy", "stinky"). This is a good age to put the toilet chair in the bathroom, mainly to make it a normal part of the room and not something strange that shows up when the time is right for training. It is also helpful to decrease attention to diaper changing. There are many entertaining books out there regarding this topic! Elimination Toddlerhood is one of the most dangerous ages due to lack of good depth perception and inability to control impulses. Energy is relentless! Recheck all previously childproofed areas, including the garage and lawn. Children at this age have more courage and speed and often go down unguarded stairways or fall on or off sharp-edged furniture; constantly supervise. Keep the Poison Control Center (800-222-1222) phone number handy. Prevent drownings. Never allow your child near a pool, lake, bathtub, or bucket of fluids unless you are with her. Burns happen quickly at this age. Irons, curling rods, lamps, light bulbs, cigarettes, candles and hot liquids are all within reach of a busy, exploring toddler. Vacuum cleaners (in use) are also a hazard. Toddlers are wonderful, but can be frustrating. Avoid the potential for Shaken Baby Syndrome by taking breaks from your child before your temper flares. Call a relative or friend for help, or the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336). If you're at the end of your rope, call the Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100); they can help you get a break. We would like to see your child again for a routine checkup at age TWO. By then your child will be verbal and animated, bringing out all of your best traits! No vaccines are usually due at that visit. Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all scheduled well-child visits. As the saying goes, don't sweat the small stuff.

Book Now Ilene Moore MD Biography Ilene was born near the other end of I-35 in Oklahoma City, OK, and in 1992 graduated from Rice University in Houston, Texas, with her bachelor's degree in behavioral sciences. She returned home to attend medical school at the University of Oklahoma and joined the health sciences center in Tulsa for her pediatric residency. Ilene spent two years learning pediatric critical care medicine in Memphis, Tennessee, but she missed the continuity of care found in outpatient pediatrics. Since 2002, she has lived and practiced in Minnesota. Before joining Wayzata Children's Clinic, she worked in Minnesota's community health centers for eight years, giving her a deep appreciation for the social and environmental determinants of health and a deep admiration for the everyday work of parenting, especially in the first 3-5 years of life. Ilene is board-certified in pediatrics, and her interests include trauma-informed care, neurodiversity, and early childhood development. She lives in St Louis Park with her husband Patrick and their twins Mia and Jacob and spends most of her free time reading, cooking, and visiting local food markets on her travels. Back to Providers

20, 21 years (male) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day and make this a habit for life. Your performance in school and at work and even during your free time activity still depends on your diet. Even if you feel you are done growing (or close to being done) you still need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium to support the completion of your bone growth and density and continued bone strengthening. Also, 2-3 iron-rich foods a day are still recommended to support your blood. Read food labels to see how much fiber you need and how much you are actually getting — fiber is known to prevent colon cancer and heart disease. Avoid the "traps" that often affect people your age out on their own. Junk foods taste great but can deprive your body of what it really needs and can put on the excess weight (as can alcohol). Also, avoid habits that will be tough to break later on, such as eating in a rush or in front of the TV, or eating when stressed or while studying. If you are unhappy with your appearance or performance, take a good look at your eating and see what you could change. There is no vitamin or "energy" supplement nearly as good as just eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. This becomes even more important if you are a college student or at a job where you feel you are not as active as you used to be (or would like to be). See your dentist every six months for regular cleanings and exams. Wellness Visits Keeping your body on a fairly regular wake/sleep schedule (even on weekends) will help you get the sleep you need. Try not to save all of your "think time" and studying for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt in the car and your helmet when biking or in- line skating. NO ONE thinks an accident will happen to them. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Take your body seriously. Tobacco, drugs, and irresponsible alcohol use change lives, and usually not for the better. Far too many adults have regrets about past decisions they wish they could change. If you feel you have made a past mistake, re-contract with yourself and make better future decisions. If you are sexually active, or planning to be, be smart and responsible. If you have questions about sex, your sexuality, HIV, pregnancy, STDs, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please talk with another adult whom you trust and respect. If you live away from home and return for a visit, expect that your parents will still want to know where you are and who you're with (yes, they have their own adjustments to make regarding your independence at home!). More injuries occur in unorganized sports ("pick-up games" or "a quick jog") than ever before. Warm-up and stretch well before any exercise. Safety Continue to prioritize your demands — the ones you place on yourself as well as the ones others place on you. You will find that balancing all the parts of your life (including your free time) is the key. Try to talk to your family frequently, even if by phone. You may be surprised by how many more agreements you have now! This can be a fabulous, and stressful, time. On one hand, increasing independence and decision-making power is great. On the other hand, stresses of school and money, lack of familiar support, and increasing responsibilities and uncertainty can take their toll. If you are finding yourself getting stressed out more than you feel you should or can reasonably handle, please talk to someone. A friend, parent, favorite professor or coach, counselor, or health care provider can offer support and help. Social, Family, & School You have probably gone through most of your growth by now, but your body will continue to "proportion" itself for years. It is recommended that all men do routine monthly self-testicular exams. Some men are uncomfortable doing this at first, but we will teach you how to do this and discuss why it is important, even at your age. Testicular cancer affects younger men more than older men. This is a good time to start making your own health appointments(if you haven't already) and looking into an adult health clinic. Be sure you have a copy of your health history (including vaccines) as you move away from home. We recommend yearly physicals. Please call with any concerns you have about yourself.
