ORAL HEALTH SUPPORT Dental Programs and Resources Keeping your mouth healthy is an important part of your overall health. While Amoskeag Health offers a pediatric oral health program as part of well-child care, many dental needs are met through community programs across New Hampshire. Our Pediatric Oral Health program is offered at every Well Child Check for children ages 0 to 5. During these visits, our team applies fluoride varnish to help lower the risk of cavities. Research shows it works even for kids who see a dentist regularly. As part of the program, your child will receive two fluoride varnish treatments per year and an age appropriate oral health kit with resources you can use at home to keep their teeth healthy. Children who are at higher risk for cavities may receive varnish more often. Pediatric Oral Health Program NH Smiles Dental Program for Children The NH Smiles Program for Children, offered through the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, provides preventive and basic dental care for children covered by New Hampshire Medicaid. Families can use this program to find a dental home, get routine cleanings, and access treatment that helps keep kids’ teeth healthy as they grow.

NH Smiles for Children NH Smiles Dental Program for Adults The NH Smiles Dental Program for Adults helps people 21 and older with New Hampshire Medicaid get basic dental care.

As uncomfortable as it may feel, remember that they were once your age and went through the same things you are going through.

That’s why it is important for you to have at least one adult you trust and can talk with. ----------------- AMAZE takes the awkward out of sex ed.

Being a good listener is more than just allowing the other person to speak—you've got to be able to hear what the other person is saying in order to understand the meaning behind their words. There are few things you can do to be a good listener: 1. Pay attention. Don't be distracted by things happening around you. Don't get on your phone and start scrolling or texting. 2. Don't judge what the other person tells you. Let them finish their thought without worrying that you'll jump to conclusions. 3. Don't spend time thinking about what you're going to say next.This is hard to do if you're feeling defensive, but it'll really help if you listen. 4. Show empathy. Empathy means that you show the other person that you feel what they feel. 5. Don't offer solutions to a problem unless you're asked specifically. Most people just want support—they want to be heard. They don't actually want you to solve problems for them. 6. Ask questions to be certain that you understand what the other person is saying, but don't interrupt. Wait until the other person pauses. 7. Be responsive: nod your head or reflect back by saying something like, "you must be so excited" or "that's terrible." Being a good listener is an important skill and can help you to become good boyfriend or girlfriend material. People like to be heard, especially by those they care about. If you need practice, try it out on your close friends or family members. -- Please like, share and subscribe to AMAZE! Follow us on Snap and Insta for more info about puberty and growing up.

It argues that there are five stages of human needs that motivate our behavior. #learn #motivation Never miss a new video : http://eepurl.com/dNU4BQ JOIN us as a Youtube member for special perks: ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-RKpEc4eE9PwJaupN91xYQ/join SUPPORT our mission to create free video lessons on Patreon: ❤️ https://www.patreon.com/sprouts Script: Abraham Maslow proposed his theory in 1943 after studying what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein or Eleanor Roosevelt. STAGE 1 First, there are physiological needs, such as the need to breathe, eat, drink or sleep. The moment we got enough of that and we feel awake and our bellies are full, we get motivated by the next thing. STAGE 2 Now we want safety. We try to earn money, build up resources and look for shelter that protects us against dangers. Once we are satisfied and feel safe, we have time to think about what we want next. STAGE 3 At stage three we seek love and belonging. We desire to be close to family and friends, belong to a society or join a gang. But the moment we feel completely part of a group we already wish to be a little different than the rest. At stage four we look for esteem, self-confidence, and respect from our peers. We want to be someone. If we have money, we buy a fancy watch. If we have a brain, we write or think or work a lot. Motivation to perform and compete is now at its highest. Students, sportsmen, and inventors excel. Neil Armstrong even flew to the moon. STAGE 5 Only if we breathe and drink and eat and sleep enough and we feel safe and part of a group and still special, only then we can reach level five: self-actualization. Now we can relax, be creative, accept facts for what they are, give back or do whatever we want. No more pressure, unless of course there is trouble below. If you are a leader and believe in the theory, use it. First, make sure everyone has eaten well. Then make them feel safe and help them belong to a group. Once they feel they belong, they are ready to stand out and excel.
