Is your child safe in their car seat? Find out! Washington County Public Health will be holding a Free Car Seat Check in partnership with Fort Ann Volunteer Fire Company, 11289 NY-149, Fort Ann NY 12827 on Wednesday, June 17th from 3-5pm.

Certified Car Seat Technicians will be on hand to check car seats for proper fit, use, possible recall and to help parents and caregivers on how to use the seat right. If a car seat is found to be unsafe, a limited number of car seats may be available for donation.

The car seat check is sponsored by New York State Governor's Traffic Safety Committee, Washington County Public Health, and the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department.

Public Health also does checks by appointment at our office!

For more information, contact Elizabeth St. John, Washington County Public Health, at 746-2400 x3478.

How to Build a family media plan.
Want to Build a Family Media Plan? Where do we start?
• Work together to set rules about social media use so you and your children agree on how devices fit into your lives. Use our Family Media Plan tool to customize these rules for your family. A couple of hints below:
• Balance family time & screen time.
• Create screen-free times and places in your home (such as meals and bedtime).
• Set do-not-disturb times on devices and media time limits.
• Track online activities and talk about which ones may be problematic.
• Plan regular screen-free activities your family enjoys.
• Make a habit of turning off media that isn't in use. Try music if you need ambient noise.
• Talk about social media.
• Start regular, open-minded conversations with your children (even the youngest ones!) about their social media use, and yours.
