The American Academy of Pediatrics has outlined safety tips to keep children physically and emotionally healthy as they return to school this season.
As children begin to return to school, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has offered safety tips that parents can use to protect their kids from diseases such as COVID-19 and influenza.
These tips began with basic health measures, such as eating healthily, getting a proper amount of sleep, and being physically active. The AAP considers these measures to be essential for social and academic success.
To encourage this lifestyle, the AAP recommended that parents bring their children in for routine check-ups with a pediatrician. These visits should include receiving updated vaccines for viruses such as COVID-19.
