FEATURES
In Search of a Good Night’s
Sleep
“Every parent discusses sleep at
some point,” says a local pediatrician. Most kids go through periods
of having trouble getting to sleep, but chronic lack of sleep or disorders
such as sleep apnea could lead to health and behavioral problems. We talk
about how
to foster good sleep habits and when to be concerned.
Inspirational Kids
Meet a group of teens who are a mainstay
at Hopelink’s Bothell office, some Renton elementary students who
partner with the local fire station to serve needy kids and a young man
who gets
down and dirty to help the environment.
Our Neighborhoods: Snoqualmie Ridge
We begin a new Seattle’s Child
feature with an introduction to the new Snoqualmie Ridge neighborhood
nestled up against the Cascade Mountains 28 miles east of Seattle.
