Family Life

Families are much more than groups of individuals. They have their own goals and aspirations. They also are places where every child and adult should feel that he or she is special and be encouraged to pursue his or her own dreams; a place where everyone's in¬dividuality is permitted to flourish.

A medical home combines place, process, and people. The primary health care professional can help the family and patient access and coordinate specialty care, other health care services, educational services, in and out of home care, family support, and other public and private community services that are important to the overall health of the child and family.

Every day children are inundated by endless messages in­tended to educate, entertain, or influence their behavior. It takes commitment and effort on the part of par­ents to monitor and help interpret these external influences on children.

Beyond the fun and games, play is essential to your child’s health and development. Play helps build important social-emotional, cognitive, language and self-regulation skills. When you play with your child, you also help create the safe, stable and nurturing relationships they need to thrive.
