It’s not uncommon for families to relax their routines during the summer. But as the school year approaches, it’s time to get back on track with schedules and structure. “We know that kids and teenagers thrive on routine, so when they have those set limits and expectations, they perform better. And in the long run, they will tell you they enjoy that better,” said Dr. Sara Bode, a primary care pediatrician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the medical director of Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Care Connection School-Based Health and Mobile Clinics.

A new study outlines which consumer products put our kids at risk for a traumatic brain injury. Parents can take steps to keep their kids protected with the right knowledge. A traumatic brain injury refers to a disruption to the brain’s normal functions. It can be caused by a bump, a blow or jolt to the head, or a penetrating head injury. Almost three-fourths of traumatic brain injuries are linked to a consumer product.

A study of kids aged 4-11 suggests affinity for outdoors may not be inherent. Imagine staring at a lake backed by snow-capped mountains, walking through a secluded forest or listening to birds sing. Now imagine a busy downtown, with skyscrapers soaring up above the rush of trains and cars. Odds are you prefer the natural scenes—following a trend among adults confirmed by numerous studies. Less clear is whether this preference is inherent, or if it is learned through experience.
