New Years Goals

By Nina Cavalli, MD, FAAP

The new year has been here for a month. How are you doing on your resolutions?

It is now time to look at how you are taking care of your family.

Here are some tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics to consider in the next year:

  • Get everyone up to date on recommended immunizations. Vaccines protect your children from various preventable diseases. Please make sure your children and you are up to date.

  • Build healthy digital habits. What are you children watching on TV and playing on video games/tablet? Research age-appropriate media and make a family plan of how much and when screen time is allowed. Watch and play together, screen time should not always be alone time.

  • Read together. Set time to read together every day. Reading has many brain boosting benefits. This can become part of the bedtime routine for many. Another option is audio books, this can be played while commuting to and from school or activities, or just when waiting in line at a drive thru.

  • Get outside. Living in Florida we have good weather most of the year. Spending time outside can be a great mood booster. Outside activities help families get needed daily physical activity, may help with sleep and relieves the eyes from screen time, not to mention vitamin D.

  • Car seats and seatbelts for all. Make sure your child is in the appropriate car restraint for age, weight and height.

  • Cook as a family. Make it fun, schedule a day or special time to try new receipt – experiment. This is a way to keep the children interested in food and eating healthy. Even picky eaters may become more interested in a variety of food and trying new things. Maybe even have kids help with the shopping.

  • Make a family disaster kit. Living in Florida we are very aware of hurricanes and the disasters they bring to our community. Being ready is a way to be less afraid. Ask your children what they would want to include in their disaster kit and have them help assemble the kit with you. Show them where you keep it and always have a plan in place in case a disaster hits.

  • Mind mental health and practice self-care. Make sure you and your family gets proper rest and adequate sleep. Caring for ourselves affects how we care for others in our family. Don’t forget about mental health. Anxiety and depression are on the rise so consult your doctor if you are experiencing any change in your mood.

What clients are saying ...

Dr Bob has been seeing my twins since they got out of the NICU and we love him. Very attentive, very nice, knowledgeable and understanding.

We recently moved so now it takes us up to 45 minutes to get there when it used to take us 15 minutes but we’ll never change doctors.

The office is always clean and the staff is super nice, highly recommended

I love Celebration Pediatrics. The office staff is so kind and always willing to accommodate me when I need a last minute appointment or to reschedule. The doctors and nurses are also incredible.

My family loves Dr. Anwer, he is a remarkable doctor. You can tell he is very passionate about his career and genuinely loves his patients which is so important. He doesn’t treat my kids like just another patient but instead takes his time to ask questions and really understand our concerns.

I really could not recommend this office and Doctor enough!

This was our first visit with this center, and it was incredible, the registration was fast, the waiting time to go to the room was short, and the best of all this was the wonderful treatment of Dr. Toma with our daughter was incredible

Our daughter said for the first time that she loved going to the doctor and that the doctor was very funny and kind to her, and like a parents made us feel safe, she explained everything to us, the treatment towards us was wonderful, recommended a thousand percent,

Dr. Toma is wonderful. Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic doctors, nurses, and staff! Patient, listen, educate, answer every question, and spend adequate time with each patient.

I have found that the doctors at this location are intelligent and educated in a wide realm of topics which makes the experience much richer, especially when it is your first child!

Quick to get patients a visit when needed and we usually don’t wait more than 5-10 min to be seen.

We are very happy and pleased to have found this place for our girls. We have recently moved from another state and the transition to this office was very smooth.

The staff was so helpful in making sure that the needed records for our girls were obtained from our prior provider. Our girls also loved the visit with NP Janil.

Would highly recommend this office.

We had our first newborn appointment at the practice and felt so comfortable. Monica was very easy to talk to and eased some of our little worries as first time parents.

She was patient, sweet, and very knowledgeable!

We left our appointment feeling very secure and with the practice that we chose!
