Influenza is about to enter its peak season in the United States. Now is the time to be vigilant in protecting against and preventing the spread of flu. Washing your hands, staying home from work or school, and covering your cough can be incredible steps. But the most effective way to prevent influenza is to get vaccinated. If you haven’t had a flu shot, get one this week. Your child can be immunized if over six months of age, and remember that many children under age nine will need a second dose (booster shot). Find out how to determine if your child needs a second dose. 1o Things To Know About Influenza 1. Influenza peaks in February and March in the United States. Look at the CDC data that reflects ongoing in...

To briefly review, for anyone who may be under the mistaken impression that homeopathic remedies actually do anything – they don’t. Here’s why in a nutshell: Homeopathy is an unscientific and absurd pseudoscience, which persists today as an accepted form of complementary medicine, despite there never having been any reliable scientific evidence that it works. So what on earth possessed me to seriously recommend it? I’ll tell you. I saw a beautiful little four-month-old today whose mother thinks he might be teething. Everyone thinks their four-month-olds are teething because they start getting more drooly as their hand-mouth coordination improves, a...

In this video, I talked with local TV news last week about germs and kids, and about preventing infections in college students during finals week:   If you find this video helpful, I invite you to check out my other videos at MikeSevilla.TV.

It is a rare soul, indeed, who passes through unscathed. But losing a child ranks at the top of the hardest to bear.” I have thought about this so often: What I would do if one of my kids died before me? I can’t begin to appreciate the pain, the heartache, a bereaved mother or father must feel, and the reserve of strength and determination that is needed to forge ahead. I know that many of my readers have mourned the loss of their children. Several have asked me to write on this topic. However, as I am a mental-health blogger with two healthy children, I thought it best to get some help from a woma...

Jim had gone out to wait for the bus while I got Charlie ready and I found myself running out to tell Jim that Charlie wouldn’t be going to school today. I went back inside, where Charlie was standing up, rather wobbly, and assured him he could stay home and before you know it he was stretched out on some cushions with a sleeping bag over him, sound asleep. Jim came back in and asked the next, very pressing question: What were we going to do about work? It’s a perennial issue for us; it’s the perpetual dilemma of the working mom an...

While the St. Paul Public School District initially wrote down “communication disorder” as Charlie’s diagnosis on his first Individual Family Services Plan (IFSP; we were living in Minnesota at the time), it was soon evident that Charlie had autism, and that’s been his diagnosis ever since. I think it’s been Charlie’s limited language—-when he was two, the only thing he said was “dah”—that especially stood out (he also had some “challenging behaviors”—some bouts of hitting himself on the head). But once we got the report saying that he had autism, there&#82...

It will offer daycare services from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, as well as supplemental behavioral-based instruction will be offered to children from age 18 months to 12 years; tutors and tutor supervisors will be Malott’s WMU students. Standard full-day tuition for day care will be $189 per week for infants and $157 per week for older students, and half-day care is also available. All I can say is: I think I’ve been needing such a center for the past, oh, 8 or (to tell the truth) 11 years. Charlie was in a daycare when he was 16 months old an...

National Nine News (Sydney) reports that the alleged incident was only revealed to Rochelle Hodges, Connor’s mother, several weeks ago, after a former employee of the childcare center spoke up: Ms Hodge said the centre, now owned by ABC Learning, tried to cover up the alleged incident as Connor could not talk. “His disabilities mean he essentially cannot communicate verbally and it’s clear (the childcare centre) thought there would be no way anyone would find out,” Ms Hodge told the Courier Mail Not sure which is worse, the alleged diaper-in-the face, or the cover-up.

Between my friend and me, there’s been several jobs, moves around the country, and she’s a mother now, too. There was an impossible amount of catching up to do. Nonetheless, the one topic we kept returning to was our kids, their education, their needs, and daycare. Once upon a time my friend and I had talked for hours about avant-garde Asian-American performance artists: You talk...

And, afterschool care. The very idea of these have long seemed a luxury to me. There’s basically five people on this planet who’ve provided these for Charlie: My parents, our speech therapist who we’ve known since she was in college, Jim, and me. As my parents live in California (they’re retired and can visit a couple of times a year, for extended periods), and the speech therapist has a full-time job, does Early Intervention, and much else, basically our daycare/afterschool care team has consisted of a total of two people: Jim and me. This is not for lack of trying to have Charlie in such programs. In fact, it was because Charlie was in daycare (an on-site facility at the St. Paul university I was then teaching at) that his developmental delays were noted ...
