THANK YOU. COMING UP ON 8:13. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT COVID CASES IN CHILDREN, THEY ARE ON THE RISE, AND WE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR SO A LOT OF PARENTS ARE FOCUSED ON THIS. CHILDREN UNDER 12 AREN'T ELIGIBLE FOR THE VACCINE SO PARENTS ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE THE CHILDREN ARE PREPARED TO GO BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM AND HAVE WHAT THEY NEED AND THE NEED TO BOOST THEIR CHILDREN IMMEDIATE. SO WE WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU ARE CHOOSING TO ADD SOME SUPPLEMENTS TO YOUR KIDS ROUTINE, WHAT SHOULD YOU BUY BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS? DOCTOR ALINA McDONALD'S IS JOINING US. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. WE KNOW TYPICALLY, AS A PEDIATRICIAN, YOU SAID THAT YOU DON'T OFFICIALLY RECOMMEND THAT CHILDREN HAVE TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTS BUT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PARENTS WANT TO MAKE SURE SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE THE BACK PAIN THAT KIDS HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO BE PROTECTED. >> IN GENERAL, PEDIATRIC, OVERALL CHILDREN ARE GENERALLY HEALTHY GETTING PROPER REST AND FOOD. IF CHILDREN ARE JUST AS DIVISIONS, WE WILL RECOMMEND VITAMINS. BUT OF COURSE IF PARENTS WANT TO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN A DAILY VITAMIN, THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPTIONS, MULTIVITAMINS THAT PARENTS CAN GIVE THEIR CHILDREN JUST TO BOOST THEIR VITAMINS EVEN MORE. >> LET'S GO THROUGH THAT. WE WILL DO IT THROUGH DIFFERENT AGES. SO FOR THE FIRST ONE, THIS IS FOR INFANTS. UP TO ONE YEAR OF AGE. YOU RECOMMENDED DROPS. >> ABSOLUTELY. SO WE RECOMMEND THAT THE VITAMIN D DROPS, ESSENTIALLY THAT VITAMIN D DROPS THAT WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ESPECIALLY IMPRESSED BY CHILDREN BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT BREAST MILK CAN BE VITAMIN D DEFICIENT. WE START THOSE WITHIN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF LIFE. THAT'S A GREAT OPTION. THAT'S ALREADY RECOMMENDED. >> FOR THE SECOND ONE, IF YOU ARE 2 TO 3 YEARS OF AGE, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? >> FLINTSTONE VITAMINS. >> I LOVE THAT AS A KID. >> IT HAS ALL YOUR BASIC VITAMINS IN IT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE BACK OF EACH BOX YOU WILL SEE THAT IT HAS YOUR VITAMINS C, IT HAS A VITAMIN D, IT HAS SOURCES OF IRON IN IT SO IT'S A GREAT OPTION FOR PARENTS TO GET AND YOU CANTFIND AT ANY LOCAL STORE OR SUPERMARKET CHAIN. >> OVER-THE-COUNTER. YOU MENTIONED UNLESS THERE IS A DEFICIENCY, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS AND VITAMINS. >> CHILDREN WHO HAVE IRON DEFICIENCY, AND THAT WINSTONE VITAMINS HAVE IRON SO WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ALSO. >> LET'S DO AGES FOUR AND UP. >> WE CAN ACTUALLY RECOMMEND SYNDROME. AND WE RECOMMEND SYNDROME FOR THEM AND THEY WILL STILL HAVE ESSENTIAL VITAMINS IN THEM. AGAIN, ALL OF THESE BASIC VITAMINS, THEY ARE NOT MEGADOSES . THEY ARE THE MOST BASIC DOSES THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OUR HEALTH. >> MOVING, THEN, TO 4 TO 12. >> IT'S JUST, AS YOU GET OLDER, THEN YOU MAY REQUIRE A LARGER DOSE. SO IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR VITAMINS, IF KIDS ARE 2 TO 3, THEY MAY HAVE HALF A TABLET OR SOMETIMES IF THEY ARE OLDER YOU MAY RUN WIRE ONE TABLET AND THEN WHEN YOU DO THE SYNDROME FOR THE OLDER CHILDREN, MAKE SURE THEY ARE GETTING THEIR PROPER DOSES. >> THAT THERE IS A COMPLETE MULTIVITAMIN FOR KIDS. >> COMPLETE MULTIVITAMIN FOR CHILDREN, IT HAS ALL YOUR BASIC VITAMINS. YOUR VITAMIN D, YOUR VITAMINS THE. ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE TALK ABOUT THAT GOING TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM MAY KEEP YOU HEALTHY. >> THESE ARE MOSTLY OVERALL. SOMETIMES PARENTS, WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT , THEY PULL OUT THE VITAMIN C OR THE EMERGENCY. YOU RECOMMEND THAT AT ALL FOR KIDS? >> IT NOT NECESSARY. IT'S NOT NEEDED. YOU CAN STICK WITH YOUR BASIC MULTIVITAMIN. >> THEN YOU HAVE THE ELDERBERRY. WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT FOR KIDS? >> I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THAT FOR CHILDREN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE EXTRA DOSES. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET THAT FOR CHILDREN. I SAY STICK WITH YOUR BASIC MULTIVITAMIN. >> DON'T GO OFF TRACK. >> BASIC MULTIVITAMIN. >> VITAMIN C IN GENERAL, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT FOR KIDS? >> IT'S ALWAYS, IT'S ESSENTIAL FOR US AND IT'S IN YOUR BASIC MULTIVITAMIN. SO ALWAYS, YES. THAT'S ESSENTIAL FOR US BUT THAT YOUR BASIC MULTIVITAMIN. WE NEED THESE VITAMINS BUT PARENTS DON'T NEED TO GO OFF BY SPECIFIC VITAMINS. >> WHAT ELSE CAN THEY DO? >> THE KEY THINGS THAT WE RECOMMEND, THE THREE MAIN DAYS ARE PROPER NUTRITION, ADEQUATE SLEEP, AND ADEQUATE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE WAY MASKS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE KNOW THAT OUR CHILDREN 12 AND UNDER ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE VACCINE. HOPEFULLY IT'S COMING SOON. BUT UNTIL THEN, WE'LL NEED TO DO OUR BEST TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND
