Common Sense Media
|
It is more important than ever to teach your kids to be safe and responsible online. Kids often have the technical know-how, but not the maturity to use social media  wisely.
Common Sense Media is a website is dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.
They exist because our nation's children spend more time with media and digital activities than they do with their families or in school, which profoundly impacts their social, emotional, and physical development . As a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization, they provide trustworthy information and tools, as well as an independent forum, so that families can have a choice and a voice about the media they consume. Check out this page with some helpful info on what to do if your child posts an unwanted photo online. |

Advanced Asthma Care at WPC
Williamsville Pediatrics has long been on the forefront of advanced pediatric asthma care in the area. We have recently updated our spirometry (lung function testing) so that we can accurately measure your child's pulmonary health.
If your child has asthma, make sure that he or she benefits from our yearly Asthma Review at your well visit.
