\"\"<\/a>黑料网 Family Medicine is committed to pediatric care, from pregnancy on. One way we support our pediatric patients is through our adoption of the Reach out and Read<\/a>\u00a0(ROAR) methodology. ROAR is a\u00a0nonprofit organization that gives young children a foundation for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud together. They emphasize the importance of reading for early childhood development.\u00a0The best opportunity to influence a child’s future is in the first five years, a critical window of rapid brain development that does not occur at any other time. Children who hear fewer words during early childhood start school developmentally behind their peers and may never catch up.<\/p>\n

When families read aloud to their young children, they can give them a better start to life. That’s why our providers give books to children at more than 10 well-child visits from infancy until they start school. More importantly, they encourage families to read aloud and engage with their infants, toddlers and preschoolers every day.\u00a0Read more about Reach Out and Read here on their website.<\/a><\/p>\n
