We wish you the very best this holiday season!


During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, remember to step back and take a moment to give thanks for our families and your health. Your children won't remember what dishes were prepared or a special meal, nor how clean your home was, but they'll remember spending quality time with you.

As we turn the calendar to a new year, we realize how quickly time passes; take advantage of every single day to tell your kids "I love you."   ---Shelly Flais, MD  

Warm wishes for a holiday season filled with joy and peace! Cherish this opportunity to spend time with  loved ones and count your blessings! Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year!      ---Dr. Thomas and family

"Hark!  Unto you a child is born..."  May God's gifts of love and hope, grace and peace fill your hearts in this holy season.

Thank you for allowing me the great privilege of caring for your children!        ---Rebecca Smeraglinolo, MD

Behavior at School

Josie Dawe, CPNP From the Desk of Josie Dawe, CPNP Behavior Concerns in the Classroom? It is that time of year when parents are meeting with teachers to discuss children's classroom behaviors. Variation in normal behavior and true behavioral problems is not always clear because "normal" depends upon the child's level of development, which can vary greatly among children of the same age.

Shelly Flais, MD We at Pediatric Health Associates support your child's health and medical concerns, and we also seek to nurture kids as a whole, including both mind and body. In this spirit, today's blog post is on the topic of childhood education, to provide food for thought for parents in the evolving 21st century. As Illinois schools implement newer Common Core standards, the face of education continues to evolve. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) curricula are gaining more attention as these fields foster particular skills that will be necessary for the workforce over the next few decades. Computer science offerings, such as basic computer programming, however, are more challenging to find for students and usually are not available in public schools until the high school level.

                     From the desk of Katien Faragher, CPNP Katie Faragher, CPNP Fall is a favorite season for many people.  Colorful fall leaves, orange pumpkins, and hayrides are vivid images our minds create as the month of October approaches.  Along with the seasonal pleasures of fall, it is important to be reminded that this also means that we are on the brink of….INFLUENZA! Common and unpredictable, the influenza virus can cause serious complications including death in even the healthiest children.  In the United States, about 5% to 20% of the population will be diagnosed with influenza every year, causing over 200,000 hospitalizations.  Last year, there were at least 77 children that died from influenza, and this does not include deaths that were caused by secondary complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure.  The 2010/2011 flu season data reported 49% of deaths in children from influenza...
