the great outdoors
Fun in the Sun… and the Wind, Rain and Snow!

As parents, it’s our job to teach our kids about the wonders of the great outdoors. It’s also important to keep them healthy and safe so they can get the most out of their outdoor experiences.

Dr. Greene’s Great Outdoors Topic Center is filled with information about what you might want to bring on your adventures- both big and small. It’s also a great place to visit if you have questions about water safety, sun safety, bee stings, vacationing with kids, or identifying poison oak, ivy and sumac.

Looking for tips for traveling with a toddler? Wondering whether or not your child is getting enough exercise? Wondering how much sun is too much for your baby? Trying to figure out the best way to remove a tick? It’s all here and more!
