You can be a cool parent by knowing what to do if your child wants a tattoo or piercing.Tattoos and body piercing are gaining popularity as a form of personal expression. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommendations for your child’s safety with these body modifications.Basic Guidelines:- Know that each state has a set of rules and regulations for minimum age. Proper identification is needed and so is parental accompaniment in some cases.- Look for a clean and sanitary establishment.- Watch someone else undergo a tattoo or piercing at your chosen establishment.- Meticulous guidelines for care of the wound is important.- It’s expensive to get a laser tattoo removal and it isn’t covered by insurance. Consider long and hard before getting a tattoo. A temporary or henna tattoo is a smart first step.- No tattoo artist or piercer will do a procedure on someone under the influence.- Make sure tetanus, hepatitis and other immunizations are up to date.- If the procedure site is red, hurts more than the initial needling, red streaking above or below, pus or fever, contact your doctor immediately.Speak with your child’s pediatrician if he is considering a body modification. She can share risks and complications if your child is passionate about getting a tattoo or piercing.Listen as Dr. Cora Breuner joins Melanie Cole, MS, in this encore episode from 2018 to share how to make sure your child is safe when getting a body modification.

One important test kit to have on hand is a tick test, especially during tick season (April-October). Lyme disease is a year-long problem, but most people are infected during the height of tick season. Lyme disease symptoms can easily be confused with COVID symptoms, and if not treated right away can result in lifelong health issues including chronic fatigue, joint pain and weakness, arthritis, and a compromised immune system.Sandra tells us more about these trends, the FDA's stance, and NJ Labs' tick collection kit.

How do you talk to kids about dangerous internet and TikTok challenges?Just when it seems like these challenges are out of the news, something else pops up.Social media rewards outrageous behavior.

Their brains haven’t developed enough to fully grasp the consequences of dangerous behaviors.How do you talk to kids about these dangerous challenges?If it says "challenge," it’s probably a horrible idea. There are exceptions, like the ALS ice bucket challenge. But, as a general rule, they should avoid things labeled as challenges.Encourage your kids to try to freak you out with the most shocking thing they’ve encountered.
