Any final advice?
Yes. Here are tips for your child’s diet and dental health: • Ask your pediatric dentist to help you assess your child’s diet. • Shop smart! Do not routinely stock your pantry with sugary or starchy snacks. Buy “fun foods” just for special times. • Limit the number of snack times; choose nutritious snacks. • Provide a balanced diet, and save foods with sugar or starch for mealtimes. • Don’t put your young child to bed with a bottle of milk, formula, or juice. • If your child chews gum or sips soda, choose those without sugar.
The best advice that we can give incoming students, whether they have declared a major or not, is to maintain regular contact with their advisor. The advisor is a valuable source of information and support. Meeting with an advisor will ensure that you are scheduling appropriate coursework; are aware of campus resources; and can discuss academic and other issues with an interested, concerned professional.
