Perth County ̶ From November 14 to November 30, 2016, everyone who signs up to receive the Health Information for Parents (HIP) e-newsletter will be entered into a draw to win a $50 Visa gift card.
The HIP e-newsletter is free and available for parents of school-aged children and teens. There are two versions of HIP: one for parents with children in grades K-6; and one for parents with youth in grades 7-12. Both versions support positive parenting practices.
Articles for parents of elementary children have included: “What is anxiety?”, “Are your Kids too Tired to Move?” and “Helping Children to Self-Regulate at Home.” Articles for parents of teens have covered topics like talking with your child about alcohol, self-esteem, the effects of tanning, and unhealthy relationships. Healthy recipes are also included.
The HIP e-newsletters:
- come out 3 times per year: fall, winter and spring
- contain reliable health information relevant to your family on topics such as nutrition, mental wellness, safety, immunization, and positive communication
- include important updates and links to community supports.
It’s easy to sign up and enter the contest! Go to www.pdhu.on.ca/hip and fill out the online form. Deadline for entry is November 30, 2016.
