Thanksgiving is tomorrow but it's good to practice gratitude on a regular basis! In fact, gratitude provides numerous health benefits for families. Here's how your family can practice gratitude.
"Take a couple of minutes at bedtime to write down or talk about at least one thing, no matter how small, or one part of the day that you and your family are grateful for. Studies have shown that gratitude improves sleep quality and decreases symptoms like unexplained aches and pains. By focusing on the positive parts of the day, gratitude helps set us up for a positive outlook for the day to come."

Lithium coin batteries are found in many common devices in the home. Given their small size, they can be accidentally swallowed by young children which can cause serious harm. Check out this guide on where these batteries can be found and how to keep your kids away from them.
"If you suspect your child has ingested a lithium coin or other small battery, take them immediately to an emergency room! Your child may not show any symptoms at first, but lithium coin batteries can cause a harmful chemical reaction and burn the esophagus within a few hours. This can be life-threatening. An X-ray can properly diagnose an unintentional ingestion. If you aren't able to drive, call 911 for help."
