From Birth, Engage Your Child With Talk
|
One of the most important pieces of information that families receive during a
Colorado Bright Beginnings' visit is that 85% of brain development occurs before
the age of three years old, making communicating and interacting with infants
and young children essential. The following New York Times article agrees and
provides a number of fun ways to achieve this goal:

Cash for Candy
|
Boulder Dental Group
Once again Boulder Dental Group is teaming up with Dr. Gordon West to buy back all of that excess
candy from your kids. No kidding! Sure they can eat their fill on Halloween
and stash away a few choice pieces for later , but we'll take the rest of it and
pay them for it! The candy will be shipped overseas to our courageous troops
(who sure deserve a treat or two) serving our country in the Middle East. In
return, we'll give your kids $1 per pound of candy and a flashing Firefly
toothbrush.
Bring your kids and your candy in to our office or Dr. West's
office on Friday November 6th between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. and spread the word.
This is open to all kids, not just patients. We look forward to seeing you and
helping out our troops with some treats from home.

Low Cost Health Insurance Program for
Children and Pregnant Women
Many
children (age 18 and younger) in working and middle-class families qualify
for this low-cost health insurance program, which is also available for
pregnant women. If a family qualifies, the most they would pay is a $25 premium
per year for one child ($35 per year for more than one) and a co-pay of $0 to
$5 per doctor visit.
Eligibility is determined after child care and elder care costs, medical
and dental expenses, child support, alimony, and health insurance premiums are
deducted from the families' monthly income. Once enrolled, the insurance
is valid for an entire year--even if the family's income increases.
If you know a child or pregnant woman who does not have health insurance
please call Karen Niebrugge at 303.449.0177 x.8.
