April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Thousands of Oklahoma children suffer abuse and neglect each year. According to the Oklahoma State Department of... Human Services, there were 15,937 substantiated child abuse and neglect victims in Oklahoma in 2020, an increase over the previous year. The Oklahoma State Department of Health encourages every citizen to "do one thing" to protect children and strengthen families. Even small gestures can make a difference in the lives of families and children. Prevent Child Abuse America recommends these 10 ways to help prevent child abuse: 1. Be a nurturing parent - Children need to know that they are special, loved, and capable of following their dreams. 2. Help a friend, neighbor, or relative - Being a parent isn’t easy. Offer a helping hand take care of the children, so the parent(s) can rest or spend time together. 3. Help yourself - When the big and little problems of your everyday life pile up to the point you feel overwhelmed and out of controltake time out. Don’t take it out on your kid. 4. If your baby criesIt can be frustrating to hear your baby cry. Learn what to do if your baby won’t stop crying. Never shake a babyshaking a child may result in severe injury or death. 5. Get involved - Ask your community leaders, clergy, library, and schools to develop services to meet the needs of healthy children and families. 6. Help to develop parenting resources at your local library - Find out whether your local library has parenting resources, and if it does not, offer to help obtain some. 7. Promote programs in school - Teaching children, parents, and teachers prevention strategies can help to keep children safe. 8. Monitor your child’s television, video, and internet viewing/usage - Excessively watching violent films, TV programs, and videos can harm young children. 9. Volunteer at a local child abuse prevention program. For information about volunteer opportunities, call 1.800.CHILDREN or contact your local Prevent Child Abuse America chapter. 10. Report suspected abuse or neglect - If you have reason to believe a child has been or may be harmed, call your local department of children and family services or your local police department. What will be your "one thing" that you do this month to help prevent child abuse?

The number of children that have died of COVID-19 as of 3/25/21. The number of families that have had to say goodbye forever to their child. I’m so frustrated ...with the comments I get every time I post about COVID vaccines in kids. I want EVERYONE who says kids don’t need vaccines because COVID doesn’t affect kids to say that to the face of a parent who has buried their child. I want them to say that to the parent that is worried about their child with chronic fatigue or prolonged respiratory symptoms from their COVID infection. Is COVID generally severe in children - no. Is COVID generally worse in adults - yes. Is COVID always benign in children - no. Should children be offered vaccination when COVID vaccines have been deemed safe and effective in their age group - absolutely. 279 children are no longer with us because of this disease that we can now say is vaccine preventable. I, for one, don’t want for any more parents to lose a child to COVID.

Wow! Exciting news coming from @pfizerinc today! In their Phase 3 trial of 2,260 adolescents age 12-15, there were ZERO cases of COVID-19 in the vaccine group! ... While this data isn’t yet peer reviewed, I’m VERY optimistic! If you have questions about the #covidvaccine in kids, join @kckidsdoc and me TONIGHT at 8e/7c for #masksofflive to discuss this very topic!!
