Today is National Coffee Day! Some parents may be wondering when it's OK to give teens coffee or other caffeine containing beverages.
Caffeine is a drug that is found naturally in the leaves and seeds of some plants. Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system keeping drinkers awake. Caffeine also provides short boost in energy and mood.
Caffeine can be found in teas, coffee, chocolate and many sodas. Caffeine is usually considered safe for adults in moderate amounts (200-300mg/day). Teens should limit caffeine consumption to less than 100 mg per day and younger children should have even less. Even consumed in small amounts children and adults can become dependent on caffeine.
If you have specific questions about your child please schedule an appointment with your pediatrician.

Halloween is just over a week away. This year’s celebration may look different than last year. Trick-or-treating may be discouraged or cancelled in your neighborhood. A family scavenger hunt for treats in your home or yard can be a fun alternative. If trick-or-treating is still on in your neighborhood, avoid large groups or clustering at doorsteps or anywhere else. Remember to wear a mask, watch your distance, and wash your hands.

Stress and Violence at Home During the Pandemic
As a parent, the best thing you can do to protect your children from the flu is to get them vaccinated before influenza starts circulating in your community. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all children age 6 months and older get their influenza vaccine by the end of October. Everyone around them should be vaccinated, too.

Which Flu Vaccine Should My Children Get This Year?
As October comes to an end, many families are making plans for the thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving is a time when many families travel across the country to celebrate together. Travel increases the chance of getting and spreading the virus that is circulating in our community. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and vulnerable family members during the pandemic.
Below is a list of safer ways to celebrate this holiday season.
- Having a small dinner with only people who live in your home.
- Cook traditional family recipes for family and neighbors, especially those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, and delivering them in a way that doesn’t involve contact with others
- Host a virtual dinner and sharing recipes with friends and family.
-Shopping online instead of in person on the day after Thanksgiving
- Watching sports games, parades, and movies from home instead of in person
