Dear Readers:
The February issue of North State Parent is online now! We focus on health in this issue, and it’s not just about keeping our children healthy, especially during cold and flu season. Parents, grandparents and others who care for children need to stay healthy to keep up with busy family life!
 
Start 2025 by taking small steps to realize big health benefits for you and your family:
 
-Walk at lunchtime or bike or walk with the kidsafterschool or early evening. (Experts say just 20 minutes a day can make a significant difference in health outcomes.)
-Involving children in meal prep like cutting up vegetables gets them interested in eating a variety of foods and makes sure that plenty of vegetables get on the table for lunch and dinner.
-Dark rooms with little or no light leads to better, deeper sleep for kids and adults.
