Extractions: Back to School Anxiety Talk with your child about the new school year. Discuss any issues your child may have about making new friends, moving up a grade, or having a new teacher. Shopping for new school shoes and school supplies is a good way to prepare children for the upcoming school year. Establish a routine. Set realistic times for having meals, going to bed, and getting up. This makes it easier for everyone and avoids early morning hassles. Create opportunities for your child to get together with some of the children in their grade. Their best friend might not be in the same class so encourage more than one "best friend". Review procedures for arriving and departing from school. If applicable, teach your child the proper way to get on and off of a bus and how to cross the road safely. If your child is allowed to ride his or her bike to school, review Bike Safety and the rules of the road. Have your child take responsibility for some of the planning and everyday chores such as lunch preparation. Fuel your child's mind with good nutrition. Healthy snacks and lunches are an important part of overall health. Here are some snacks that will give them nutrition and natural energy throughout the school day.

Extractions: Back to School Safety Children are heading back to school. The early morning roads are once again crowded with pedestrians, bikes, and cars in the rush to work and school. Drivers must always be watchful, and not only of other vehicles. In 1997, more than one third of the pedestrians injured by motor vehicles - approximately 77,000 - were children under the age of 15. Children frequently dart unexpectedly into traffic, often from between parked cars. If you're driving in and around school zones and other areas where children play, expect the unexpected. Bicycling in traffic or on busy roads can be dangerous. Just as if they were driving a car, children on bicycles must observe the rules of the road - yet they may not be familiar with them. The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests the following safe bicycling practices for riding in the U.S.: Always wear a helmet. Other safety gear, such as elbow pads, is recommended, especially for beginners.

Minimizing The Pain Of 'Back To School' | Principal Health News
Minimizing the Pain of 'back to school'. THURSDAY, Aug. 8 (HealthScoutNews) Shoulder problems, neck pain or lower back stress
http://www.principalhealthnews.com/article/hscoutn/102640686

Extractions: Minimizing the Pain of 'Back to School' THURSDAY, Aug. 8 (HealthScoutNews) Shoulder problems, neck pain or lower back stress are among the injuries your children may suffer if they carry backpacks that are too heavy with school books or other items. John Horn, associate director for facility management at the University of Arkansas' Intramural and Recreational Sports Program, offers some suggestions to help children avoid backpack-related injuries and problems: There are two kinds of backpacks internal and external frame. Many students carry their books and other school supplies in internal frame backpacks, which are designed to place most of the weight on the hips. External frame backpacks distribute the weight higher in the body, on the shoulders. External frame backpacks aren't intended to be used as school backpacks. Wear the backpack properly. It should be a tight fit. There should be no more than an arm's width between the pack and the student's back. If the backpack is too loose, it can bounce up and down against the student's body. That increases the risk of pain and injury. Many backpacks have chest and waist straps along with the two shoulder straps. You should use all of them.

http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/news/acc0818.htm

Extractions: Back-to-School Plans Include Review of School Bus Safety With the start of a new school year, it is important for parents and children to review safety tips together, according to Steve Anderson director of TDH Traffic Safety Program. "Parents should put a review of important safety guidelines at the top of the family's back-to-school checklist," Anderson said. "Some of the most basic safety rules, such as those concerning school buses, save young lives and prevent thousands of injuries yearly," Anderson added. He warned, however, that although school buses are one of the safest ways to travel to and from school, injuries do occur. In 1995 in Texas, 36 children age 14 and younger were killed and about 5,000 others were injured in school bus-related incidents. Twenty-one of the children killed were pedestrians. Many of the injuries happen while children are boarding or exiting their buses. One reason is that the front of a school bus obscures the driver's view of children near the bus. "Young children are not aware of the driver's blind spot, or might imagine that if they can see the bus, the bus can see them," Anderson said. TDH urges parents and teachers to discuss these safety tips with children: 1. Waiting for the busA child's behavior at the bus stop is an important aspect of pedestrian and school bus safety. Children should remember to:

Reproductive Health Sends Professionals Back To School
Reproductive health sends professionals back to school by Louise Gee.Some doctors and nurses aren't clued up on the latest contraception
http://healthcare.monster.com.au/articles/7496/

Extractions: by Louise Gee Some doctors and nurses aren't clued up on the latest contraception advice, less male GPs seem to want to learn about reproductive health, and others don't have the time to get away from their practice. This challenging situation is being tackled, using a raft of educational programs by FPA Health, formerly Family Planning Australia. Nurses can now enrol in a reproductive health module by distance education, following a successful pilot last year. And a similar course is currently being piloted by 10-15 rural doctors, in the hope of using their input in the final program. FPA Health medial director, Dr Terry Foran, says the organisation hopes the flexible mode of delivery of the course will appeal to time-stressed and regional medicos. "There are manly people offering theory courses but FPA Health offers ways to up-skill in women's health and reproductive health over a short amount of time," she says. Alternatives to this four-week course are regular morning updates that have been more popular with male GPs. However, the organisation wants to attract more male GPs to the longer courses, where women GPs out-number men by two to one. "Female GPs tend to deal more with women's health issues," Foran explains. "Male practitioners tend to discourage patients in subtle ways because it's not lucrative - it's time-consuming."

Sally, from Kirkby Malham, North Yorkshire, was given just hours to live after being admitted to hospital in April suffering from the heart disease cardiomyopathy. A donor organ was found after a last-ditch nation-wide appeal by her parents. Sally has made a wonderful recovery from the surgery, and has been looking forward to starting classes at Malhamdale United Aided Primary School on Tuesday. Sally's mum Bridget Slater Sally says her favourite part of school was writing, and she was looking forward to composing essays. Sally's parents Jon and Bridget described the last months as a "real rollercoaster". Mrs Slater said: "Realistically, I guess we never thought we would see the day when she would return to school.

While girls were unaffected by height, the older boys in the classes - particularly the ones made to repeat a year - were shorter than their fellow pupils. The researchers at the centre for community child health at the Royal Children's Hospital in Parkville, Australia, suggest that while the smaller boys may have been performing less well than their taller peers, their height may have "tipped the balance" in favour of keeping them back a year.

"As fall approaches and children prepare to return to school, it's important for parents and children to go over safety tips together," says Keene Hart, Quad Cities' SAFE KIDS Coalition Coordinator. "This will help ensure a safe, enjoyable start to the school year for everyone." The Quad Cities' SAFE KIDS Coalition offers these guidelines to help parents and caregivers keep children safe this back-to-school season: School Bus Safety About 23.5 million students ride school buses daily. Although this is one of the safest ways to travel to and from school, injuries do occur. In 1998, 21 children ages 14 and under were killed in school bus-related traffic crashes. An estimated 6,000 children were injured in school bus-related incidents. More than half of the children killed were pedestrians. Many injuries happen when children are boarding or exiting the bus. A blind spot extends about 10 feet in front of the bus, obstructing the driver's view. Children are not aware of this blind spot and might mistakenly believe that if they can see the bus, the bus driver can see them. The Quad Cities' SAFE KIDS Coalition offers these important tips for school bus safety:
