Patterson MD, MSPH, FAAFP Mind Body Studio August 2015 & [email protected] Tanya Tyler Editor, Health&Wellness Magazine Dear Friends, Childhood is supposed to a happy, magical time filled with wonder and exploration, play and promises. I look back on my own growing-up years with fondness and gratitude for my family and all those road trips we took; for my friends who ran and jumped and rode bikes with me; for the playgrounds where I scaled monkey bars and skinned my knees. Things are different now. Kids tweet and text and spend their days in front of video screens, and the world is a lot scarier now than it was when I was growing up. So our dedication to our children as parents and caring adults should be even more solid. We want to protect our children, nourish our children, encourage our children and help them grow up and fulfill their potential. As we focus on children’s health in this issue, I hope you take the time to consider the Health and Wellness of the child or children in your life. And hey, for good measure, give them a hug. You will hold, for a moment, the future in your arms. Tanya J. Tyler Here’s to your health, Interim Editor Willie B.
