How do you keep young children calm when traveling? Interaction. Young readers and parents who may have anxiety learn the joy of traveling in the poetic book, UP AND AWAY ON MY FIRST FLIGHT, the new book from children’s author April Ready. In the story, Christmas time is approaching. Time for travels to see grandparents and cousins. Lots of excitement for a first time little traveler.

Conversations You Should be Having With Your Doctor - and How to Have Them

• What things are not as important to talk about with my doctor?  I don’t want to waste my doctor’s time.
• I can never remember my aches and pains when I’m with my doctor and only remember them once I’m home. What should I do?
• I’m too embarrassed to talk about certain areas of my body with my doctor, how do I overcome this?
• Should I talk to my medical doctor only about issues concerning my physical health?  Why is mental health and sadness so important to mention?
• From a healthcare provider standpoint, what are the top things you want to know about your patients? Does this differ by age? Does it differ by illness?
• What about if I’m in the hospital?  Why is this information so important to my doctor?
