How To Make Your Child's Health A Priority This School Year

What a summer it’s been. With COVID19 still a topic of conversation, staying healthy has been on the forefront of everyone’s mind. Sure, face masks and hand sanitizer will be the top of everyone’s back to school shopping list. But consider the general, everyday safety such as sunscreen and dental care. Are you prepared? It’s safe to say, when heading back to school this year your child’s health is going to be a top priority. And we’ve got you covered head to toe to make sure your child’s health stays in great shape.

Making Your Child’s Health A Priority When Returning To School

21 Ways Make Your Child’S Health A Top Priority When Returning To School

Proper eye care is critical to your child’s health, and to their success in the classroom. It’s important to have their eyes examined each year, and back to school shopping season is the perfect time to do it. If a recent eye exam has prompted you to search for some cool new specs for your child, check out the unique options that Pair Eyewear has to offer.

As featured on Shark Tank, these customizable magnetic frames let them easily change out colors and patterns, or turn their frames into sunglasses. The glasses are lightweight and have universal extended nose pads to fit comfortably on a child’s face. All lenses include superhydrophobic, anti-reflective and scratch-resistant treatments, and are available in prescription, non-prescription sunglasses and non-prescription blue light.

And ordering? It’s simple. Just select a base frame, add as many tops as you like, measure your child’s pupillary distance and upload their prescription on the website. You’ll receive new glasses in your mailbox shortly.

Pair Eyewear offers several cute frames and tons of tops from which to choose. The Cedro (shown above in a Crystal Clear Base) is a never-fail favorite that will flatter any small face. It typically fits ages 5-9. Tops come in many great colors and patterns, including Blue & Green, Midnight Marble, Ocean Blue and Red.

The Larkin (pictured below in the Pink Clear Base) is another choice that’s sure to please. It’s a youthful classic, both stylish and sleek, and is sized for ages 10 and up. Snag some tops to match every outfit, including Sky Blue Marble, Green Tortoise, Silver Sparkle, Blue Tie Dye or a Matcha Split Sun Top.

Gone are the days of children choosing glasses from a very small selection of uninspired styles. Let them sport some affordable, custom-designed, spectacular spectacles they’ll adore wearing to school instead, with Pair Eyewear.

Sirona S with SensorSafe Technology by Cybex

Whether you’re sending the kids back to school or taking your “virtual learning” materials on the road, we can all agree that after spending months in quarantine that it’s time to go somewhere, even if we’re only rolling through the carpool lane. As such, Cybex continues to support families during all their educational adventures with their SensorSafe Technology.

Not only does Sirona S swivel 360 degrees for easy loading and unloading (as well as switching from rear-facing to forward-facing positions), but it is also the first convertible car seat in North America to have a load leg, a safety feature that stabilizes the seat and can significantly reduce crash forces. If you’re looking for a convertible car seat this school year, the Sirona S features:

Rear-facing capability from 4-50 lbs. with 7 recline positions
Forward-facing capability from 22-65 lbs. with 4 recline positions
360 Swivel for easy loading or switching between modes
Multi-position load leg with indicators
No-rethread harness with easy height adjuster
Pop-out Linear Side-Impact Protection

Additionally, the Sirona S’s biggest advantage for your child’s health is SensorSafe Technology. This innovative technology is designed to bring parents peace of mind and enhanced safety for their children while they try to focus on getting from point A to B.

The SensorSafe clip is attached to the CYBEX car seat harness system, and it connects to the mobile phone app via the vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) port. Parents will receive essential alerts that help prevent critical situations on and off the road, such as:

Child Unattended Alert: Anytime the car ignition is turned off and the child is still buckled in their car seat, parents are alerted on their connected smartphone. If the parent walks out of Bluetooth range without unbuckling their child, an alert will be sent to the user’s emergency contacts with a GPS location of the vehicle. The notification will alert users to the last known GPS location of the buckled chest clip at that time.

Temperature Alert: For parents who may be concerned about their child being too hot or cold while in the car seat, SensorSafe will send an alert when the ambient temperature inside the vehicle is too hot (95°F/35°C) or too cold (44.6°F/7°C).

Take a Break Alert: Road trips can be long for everyone, and young children especially need to take breaks from sitting after two hours. If the child has been sitting for more than two hours, parents will receive a notification urging them to stop for a stretch break and change positions.

Safety Harness Alert: Finally, parents are instantly alerted if the child has unbuckled the chest clip while the vehicle is in motion, allowing for them to pull over and ensure the child has buckled up again before continuing their trip. This becomes especially handy as your child moves from squirmy baby to active preschooler.

Considering how much we spend time in our cars during the school year, the Cybex Sirona S changes the game when it comes to car safety. And with that in mind, who’s excited to go back to school?!

PRI

Times have certainly changed and the way you look at your child’s health has probably changed too. It’s not just the common cold or flu you are looking to prevent, but more serious illnesses like COVID-19. Sure, statistics say that your child is unlikely to be gravely affected, but that doesn’t mean you don’t take precautionary measures to protect your child’s health. That’s why we love the sweet, health-promoting benefits that PRI offers in the form of Manuka Honey 20+.

Manuka is the only honey that exhibits non-peroxide activity due to the Methylglyoxal (MGO) component only known to be in Manuka Honey at high concentrations, like the Manuka Honey From D’Urville Island MGO 265+- 500g. The higher the number (5+, 10+, 20+), the higher the concentration, giving you more health benefits that you can expect from consuming the honey. That is pretty sweet. So, whether you need a PRI Propolis And Manuka Honey Cough Elixir to soothe and relieve the symptoms of a dry cough or some Manuka Honey Sticks to place in their lunch boxes for an immune-boost, you can rest assured that you are doing everything right for your child’s health.

Honey isn’t the only source of health internally, either. Use it externally on your athletic students for pain relief, sore muscles, bruises, or bothersome growth pains. As crunchy as it sounds (and it is), the Nectar Balm Bee Venom Cream will be a dream to anyone who ails from external discomfort. For those littles (and yourself) who will be testing their cooking skills, the Manuka Honey Wound and Burn Dressing comes in handy to quickly soothe and heal. Your child’s health is important from the inside out and the sweeter the medicine, the easier it goes down.

Waterpik

It’s hard enough to get children to brush their teeth adequately every day, let alone floss well. After all, according to the ADA only a minuscule 16% of people floss daily. Crazy right? So this school year, get everyone’s dental hygiene off on the right foot by introducing them to the Waterpik Sonic-Fusion. It combines an electric toothbrush with the proven effectiveness of the Waterpik Water Flosser, all in one.

With the 2-minute timer, 30-second pacer, 10 pressure settings, and ability to just brush, just floss, or do both at the same time, everyone in the family will have pearly whites. Just make sure to pick up some additional Replacement Flossing Brush Heads to make sure each member has their own, personal brush head.

Kinnebar

What kid sit’s completely still all day? The creators of Kinnebar know this just isn’t possible. Children have tons of energy but are still required to sit and work at a desk for an extended period. That’s why they’ve created a Kinnebar for Kids. And with many children working from home virtually this year, having this great product is even more important for a child’s health. Their quiet, non-distracting foot swing is an active seating solution that helps kids remain focused and stay seated while releasing energy.

Based on the child’s desk type, Kinnebar will help choose the model desk swing that will work best. And for adults that find themselves kicking up their feet under their desk, or have restless legs, there’s Kinnebar for Adults. This school year is going to be a different, and somewhat tough year for a lot of kids. But the fidgeting and energy won’t be the learning distraction with a Kinnebar for Kids.

Coral UV

All parents send their kids off to school knowing they will be exposed to all kinds of germs and occasionally come home ill. Now, with Covid in the mix, parents are faced with a new fear of their children becoming ill. One way to help prevent the spread of germs is to utilize a UV sanitizer that cleans all kinds of household items to maintain a clean environment for your whole family and child’s health.

The 3 in 1 UV Sterilizer and Dryer from Coral UV can sterilize and dry commonly used and touched items in under 10 minutes. Through the UV-C lamps, 99.9% of harmful bacteria can be eliminated from a variety of products including baby bottles, plush toys, electronics, kitchenware, cell phones, makeup brushes, car keys, and more.

The sleek and compact size of the 3 in 1 UV Sterilizer and Dryer is the perfect size for a countertop allowing you to easily use it on a daily basis. With the option to sterilize and dry or perform each function independently, all of your electronic items such as TV remotes, smartphones, and game controllers will be safely cleaned without affecting their functions. The Smart UV Technology reduces the need to use harsh chemicals or cleaning products that you wish to keep away from young children or babies. There is no better time to add a device like this to your collection of home appliances to effectively protect you and your family.

Funkins

Face coverings will be a new addition to the back to school shopping list this year. Help your little ones to feel more at ease and protect your child’s health at the same time with Funkins.

Made from soft, breathable cotton fabrics in a variety of playful patterns, the Kids Comfort-Fit Mask with 3-D Face Design and Kids Secure-Fit Cloth Face Mask with Nose Bridge Wire are sure to make a fashion statement this fall. Adjustable, soft elastic ear straps provide a comfortable, secure fit and make for minimal complaining. Plus, masks are machine washable, so you’ll have a fresh one on hand at the start of each new school day.

Face masks are important to wear, but that doesn’t mean the fun should end! Get ready for back to school adventures (in a secure and responsible manner, of course) with Funkins!

VAVA

As children return to school and begin resuming contact with their teachers and classmates, the spread of germs is inevitable. Many children end up getting sick with everything from mild coughs and sniffles to severe fevers and flu’s. A high-quality, reliable thermometer is an essential item that all parents must have in their homes to protect their child’s health. The VAVA Smart Baby Thermometer is a real-time temperature monitoring system that adheres to your baby’s side to track and alert you of any increase in temperatures that you need to be aware of. The non-intrusive patch sticks directly to your little one’s body without causing irritation or disrupting their sleep.

With the portable, wireless monitor, you can keep a constant eye on their temperature status. No more waking up every hour to quietly sneak in your child’s room to check on their temperature as they sleep. You can get some rest yourself and the fever detection system will alert you the moment a high body temperature is read. The VAVA Smart Baby Thermometer’s long-lasting battery life allows for up to 24 hours of continuous temperature tracking.

The Coolest Shields

For many kids across the country, in order to go back to school, they will be required to wear some sort of face covering. Yes, face masks are an obvious choice; but there’s another option: The Coolest Shields!

These adorable face shields are a much more comfortable and more effective deterrent to COVID-19, protecting your child’s health, as long as they extend below the chin, cover ears and there’s no gap between your forehead and the shield’s headpiece. Not only are they endlessly reusable (just clean with soap and water or other disinfectants), but they form a barrier that will keep teachers and students from touching their face, while still being able to see your smiling face.

Available in a variety of fun designs such as the Unicorn, Astronaut, and Flower Cat; and made in the USA, The Coolest Shields are designed to stop any droplets from coughs or sneezes!

Rafi Nova

Going back to school will be much different this year, and certainly not without its challenges. To help protect your child’s health and ease the transition back to the classroom–whenever that may be–snag some Kids Smile Masks from Rafi Nova. Featuring an innovative transparent mouth covering, these reusable masks were designed for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Made with flexible adjustable straps or adjustable ear loops, they can even accommodate hearing aids or cochlear implants.

The benefits of wearing a Smile Mask can be realized by many during the school day, though. After all, facial expressions are essential in establishing relationships and trust. With these unique masks, non-verbal communication becomes more clear for everyone. Read lips, recognize emotions and, of course, see smiles!

To help make their jobs a little safer and easier, why not purchase Teacher Bundles from Rafi Nova for back to school gifts for teachers, too? With one Everyday Mask and one Smile Mask, it’s a gift that’s sure to make them smile. Say cheese!

Babyganics

As a parent, we all want to ensure our child’s health and safety is a top priority wherever they are. There is no doubt the school system supports that as you start receiving your back to school lists and may notice the highlight on cleaning and disinfecting products. Kids are designed to get dirty and make a mess so let Babyganics ease the stress of cleaning up with their convenient toy, table & highchair wipes, alcohol-free foaming hand sanitizer, and hand & face wipes. Babyganics produce plant-derived products free of harsh chemicals and can usually be used on multiple surfaces. Your child’s job is to explore by making a mess at their table, putting items or hands in their mouths, and getting food all over their face. Your job as an adult is to encourage this playful world and be there to clean them up. Babyganics will make sure there is no dirt, grime, or sticky stuff left behind!

ENOF

You simply cannot rely on school foods to give your children the best possible nutrient-dense foods for every single meal. If you are concerned about your child’s pickiness with food or that they may not be fully getting a wide spectrum of vitamins and nutrients every day – especially at school, then it’s time to say ENOF (pronounced like “enough”). Essential nutrients from organic foods aren’t just another jammed packed synthetic food supplement, it is food. In this day and age, your children need a new and revolutionary approach to consume organic vegetable nutrition on a daily basis. Simply sprinkle onto, or mix into, other food or drinks the ENOF Organic Veggie Powder Supplement and you have instant whole-food-based nutrition.

Your child’s health is the most important factor to consider when going back to school. This means getting their nutrition from vegetables, that contain literally dozens of beneficial compounds that you can’t get in a pill or gummy, is the way to go. It’s incredibly easy to do, every single day, with the ENOF Organic Veggie Powder Supplement.

Kids are spending more time at the computer than ever these days. This will especially ring true for those going back to “virtual school” this Fall. Teach them the importance of good posture early on, with an Ergonomic Foot Rest from ErgoFoam.

Your child’s health is a top priority. With ErgoFoam’s Ergonomic Foot Rest, they can experience ultimate comfort at their home desks, all day long. And for those busybodies who can’t seem to stop moving, the footrest can also be flipped upside down to use as a rocker. Rock on!
