Happy International Literacy Day! Today, we bring awareness to literacy gaps that exist within our communities and beyond.

The team at our Reach Out and Read clinic at Lutheran General Primary Pediatrics- Yacktman Pavilion (Park Ridge, IL) identified "The Feelings Book" by Todd Parr as their favorite book to give to patients. Their providers use this book to encourage parents to use feelings words with frustrated toddlers. Our team has selected a few other titles that are great for discussing big feelings with little ones.

A child's learned communication skills and tactics follow them into adulthood. Be mindful of the words you use when talking about yourself, others, and your child. Effective communication is key to problem-solving and can prevent future conflict, as well as positively support a parent-child relationship.
