College can be an exciting new chapter for your teen - full of new experiences, challenges, and opportunities. But it can also bring stress, anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed. The shift to independence, academic pressure, social expectations, and even living away from home can take a toll on their mental health.

If you’ve noticed signs that your teen might be struggling - like feeling withdrawn, unusually anxious, or experiencing changes in sleep or appetite - it could be a sign that they need support.

Stress and anxiety are common during college years, but it’s important to keep an eye out for more serious concerns, such as:

- Social withdrawal: Avoiding friends, family, and social activities they once enjoyed.

- Changes in behavior: Increased irritability, difficulty concentrating, or a drop in academic performance.

- Sleep issues: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or excessive sleep.

- Appetite changes: Either a significant loss or increase in appetite.

- Frequent physical complaints: Unexplained headaches, stomachaches, or feeling “off” physically.

If you’re unsure how to approach this conversation or how to find the right resources, the team at Arbor Pediatrics can help! We offer guidance on how to talk to your teen about their mental health and connect you to trusted resources that can support them through their challenges.

Reach out today for advice, resources, and next steps to ensure your teen’s mental wellness is healthy and thriving.

Summer camp is a blast, but safety is key. From sun protection to emergency plans, make sure your child’s camp is prepared.

Talk to the camp staff about their safety protocols before sending your child off for a fun summer. Ensure that the camp has updated emergency contact information for all caregivers. Talk to your child about safety expectations, including not wandering off alone, staying in groups, and how to ask for help if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

Does your child take daily medication or have an epi pen or inhaler? If so, they will likely need a form filled out to take the medication to camp. Call Arbor Pediatrics today or send a message in the portal to request the needed documents.

Staying active is just as important for teens as it is for younger kids and adults. Regular exercise helps build strength, improve mood, boost energy, and support overall health.

Whether it’s sports, dancing, weight training, or just going for a run, finding activities your teen enjoys is key to staying motivated. It`s also a great way to reduce stress, especially with school and social pressures. Aim for at least 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Encourage your teen to mix it up by trying different activities to keep things fun and challenging. Remember, fitness is about developing healthy habits that last a lifetime. So start young and make it enjoyable.

If your teen hasn`t had a wellness checkup in the past year, give Arbor Pediatrics a call to schedule an appointment. We’ll help make sure they’re in top shape and ready to tackle any exercise routine they choose.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor.”

Dr. Asgaonkar is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and respectful. She really listens to you and happily answers any questions you may have. My husband and I are so happy we found her for our baby. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Also, the office is SO CLEAN.
