Exam season can be stressful and exhausting, but maintaining healthy habits supports both physical and mental well-being.
Encourage 7–9 hours of sleep per night, at least 8 cups of water daily, and 20–30 minutes of moderate exercise most days to help reduce stress and boost focus. Eating balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains provides sustained energy. Short breaks for deep breathing, stretching, or a quick walk can improve concentration and mental clarity. Limiting caffeine and skipping all-nighters also helps prevent burnout.
If your college student needs us while they are away, we can see if your insurance will cover a virtual visit. We want to offer support even from a distance!

Did you know that up to 10–20% of children in the U.S. witness abuse of a parent or caregiver each year?
This exposure can profoundly impact a child’s emotional, behavioral, and physical well-being, increasing risks for anxiety, school difficulties, and long-term health issues.
Children aren’t always directly involved, but hearing or sensing conflict at home still affects them deeply.
Your providers at Arbor Pediatrics can support you and your family by offering emotional health screenings, expert guidance, and connection to counseling or social services. If your home doesn’t feel safe or you’re concerned about your child’s well-being, reach out to us, we’re here to help guide and support your family.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, which can affect physical features, growth, and learning.
Early intervention makes a big difference for children with Down syndrome. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and developmental support can help babies meet milestones and build independence over time.
At our practice, we follow the AAP Bright Futures care guidelines for children with Down syndrome, using them to guide recommended labs, specialty referrals, and developmental screenings at each well-child visit. Regular check-ups allow us to track progress, celebrate achievements, and address challenges early.
If your child has Down syndrome and you’d like guidance on early support services, give us a call so we can help connect you with local resources.
