Healthy Moms, Healthy Families

Dear Parents,

Summer is here, and with it come new safety concerns. Help your family have fun and stay safe this summer, whether at the pool, the amusement park, or a cookout.

Injuries are a common result of outdoor play, but most boo-boos are preventable. Find out how to keep your kids safe at the playground.

Finally, more time outdoors means more hazards like bug bites, bee stings, and poison ivy. Find out how to treat them all.

What's new in the FamilyEducation blogs:

"I approached the hospital bed that held a mere form of my grandmother. Her shoulders were exposed. A white blanket cloaked the rest of her body. She looked like a skeleton. It was difficult to look into the eyes of this frail, failing woman. It was if we had never met. For as long as I have known my grandmother she has been like the Eiffel Tower, tall and made of tons of iron. "
