Helping Children Develop Healthy Eating Habits at Home
Food preferences are established early in life, and as parents, we can help our children develop healthy eating habits by:
1- exposing them to a variety of healhty foods,
2- offering and re-offering healthy food often even if they don't eat it,
3- being a positive role model.
It can take up to 15 exposures to a new food before a child accept it. Be patient, do not force them to eat, keep offering and enjoy the food yourself.

Imperial County Cool Centers
The Imperial County Public Health Department encourages Imperial County residents to take the appropriate precautions in the summer in order to prevent heat-related illnesses. Locally thirty Cool Centers are available throughout Imperial County where individuals can cool off during the hottest parts of the day. When temperatures rise, officials notify healthcare professionals, schools, senior centers, nursing homes, and businesses on ways to reduce heat-related illnesses. Officials encourage residents to check on neighbors such as the elderly, disabled or young children that might be more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. Pet owners are also encouraged to protect their pets from the summer’s heat by always keeping plenty of fresh water available for pets, providing access to a shaded area and never leaving animals in a car during the summer months.
