kid_admn January 19, 2022

Where you have kids, you have messes. That’s just the way it is with children. While messes are inevitable, that doesn’t mean your home still can’t be clean. Keeping your home clean of dirt and dust helps keep pathogens out and away from your kids. Aside from avoiding illness, here are other ways keeping a clean home will benefit your family.  Reduce Allergens in Your Home When dust and dirt have the chance to settle in your home, it can cause serious allergy and asthma issues for your family. Pet dander, mildew, and mold spores can all latch onto dirt and dust. Young children are especially vulnerable to developing asthma. Regular dusting and vacuuming of floors and upholstery will help keep dust and dirt out of the home. A good air filter rated for allergens will help you keep dust down and your family healthier as well.  Lessen the Spread

kid_admn October 28, 2021

Now a days, many young eager graduates are looking to take the quickest route, solve problems with fastest way, and eliminate starting at the bottom of their career. As a recent graduate, I can testify that there are many more benefits at beginning at the bottom, and working for what you earn.  In my last semester of graduate school, the world was in a global pandemic. I had no idea if I was going to be able to finish my degree or not. I was blessed that Kidology took me on for my last externship so I could complete my final semester. During this time, I worked under another speech therapist for free. I was told when to be somewhere, what to do, and how to do it.

Masking Mandate, Detrimental to the Future

Masking Mandate, Detrimental to the Future

kid_admn September 28, 2021

Written by Ali Shain and Luba Patlakh Kaplun. As we live in controversial times, parents of young children are constantly unsure of the “right” thing to do, when it comes to masking their child or not? With constant misinformation and lack of concern for people by the government, it’s truly a challenge to make the right decisions; but with a closer look at what’s actually happening to our pediatric population, and how masking could be after the long term, parents might finally get their answers. A year of mask-wearing at such young ages, a crucial developmental period, can scar the pediatric population, not just physically, but mentally, and even developmentally.
