Dr Niamh Lynch on the neurological complications of childhood illnesses.
This week I speak with Dr Niamh Lynch. Dr Lynch is a paediatric consultant with a special interest in paediatric neurology.We discuss the medium to long term potential impacts of a child contracting the measles, mumps, rubella or chicken pox viruses. We also discuss the benefits of vaccination with the MMR Vaccine and the potential need for a national roll out of the Chicken Pox Vaccination. It is a difficult area for parents to navigate currently as the benefits of private vaccination do not include herd immunity in 15-20 years when there is currently no guarantee of immunity beyond that period according to the vaccine manufacturer Varivax.Season 3 Partnership – Salin Plus (available here!)

The Back to school Super Quiz is so helpful for kids to listen to as it will make them giggle and remind them how fun school can be!
Whether its your child’s first day of school, or they are a seasoned pro, this episode will help get them motivated to be reunited with friends and teachers! I ask about a dozen kids the following questions:
- Are you excited about going back to school?
- What is your favourite thing about school??
- What is your favourite subject?
- What makes a good teacher?
- What makes a bad teacher?
- What would your dream teacher be like?
- What do you want to be when you grow up?
I think the teachers of you out there will get great giggles from some of the answers!! You never know, you may even be inspired to take on some of the feedback!!
Back to School Preparation for Parents
The gentlest way to prepare your child for that first week back in the classroom is to start practicing school day routines now. If it’s your child’s first day, you could even do a little drive by so that there are no surprises for your child! Focus on bedtime routine and subtly moving it back in line with school day timetables which may even mean waking them up at a consistent time!
