Consider becoming a guest blogger for wichealthblog.org! Your words of wisdom will be shared with our subscribers. Unfortunately, we are not able to pay guest bloggers for posts at this time. But, this is a great chance to share your knowledge about nutrition, parenting, and healthy living with our supportive and friendly community of readers. Please note that submissions may be edited for clarity and grammar.
What we are looking for:
We are looking for short (500 words or less) guest posts from WIC participants on the following topics: 1. Immunizations (Submit by August 15 or before)
August is National Immunization Awareness Month! We're looking for posts about why you choose to vaccinate your family. We would also love to read posts from WIC participants who have taken our "Vaccinate Your Family" lesson and have thoughts about it. Other topics could include, why vaccinations are important to you and your family. And, how you help your child through the sometimes challenging process of having "a shot." Of course, this topic is impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic, and we welcome blog submissions that explore your thoughts on keeping up with vaccinations during a pandemic.
2. Food Safety (Submit by September 15 or before)
How do you make sure your family's fruits, veggies, proteins, and other foods are safe to eat? Do you follow the 4 steps of food safety (Clean, Separate, Cook, Chill)? Have you experienced food poisoning? How do you prevent it?
3. Healthy teeth during Halloween (Submit by September 30 or before)
How will you prevent cavities this Halloween season? What are your tips and tricks for keeping your kids' teeth healthy?
