praxis@praxismh.ca@PraxisMedHat As the weather continues to heat up outside I am in search of fantastic science activities so I can cool off from the hot days we have been experiencing.

Syphilis is currently at outbreak levels in Alberta and the impact it can have on children born with congenital syphilis ... Read More »

praxis@praxismh.ca@PraxisMedHat I don’t know about you, but in my house, the warm weather has allowed for siblings to be inside way too much. There is a bit of rivalry, so this week; I thought I would find a use for all of that extra energy. Challenge your children to this activity and let me know ... Read More »

Summer can be an exciting time for children with lots of fun in the sun and no more school! However, it is also true that children and even teens become very reliant on the school year structure and routine. After all, they do spend more time at school than at home for 10 months of ... Read More »
