What Is Dry Drowning

June 4, 2018 6 Comments

There was a media blitz on “dry drowning” last summer, just about this time, on a topic that is stirring up angst and worry among parents again this year. There’s good reason it makes parents nervous – drowning at baseline is a preventable tragedy that is terrifying to think on–  and it’s the leading cause of […]

Car Seats and Booster Seats And Your Precious Cargo While Carpooling

April 9, 2018 5 Comments

A friend pulled me aside last week urging me to write about car seat and seatbelt safety. His family had been involved in a rollover accident on the way home from school — literally, just turning in an intersection, as I understand it, they were plowed into by another car which caused their car to […]

What's The Right Age For A Smartphone?

February 28, 2018 Leave a Comment

What’s the right age to get your child a cell or a smartphone? I wish I had a concrete, data-driven, definitive answer for you. I think the answer is a balance between what’s right for your family and when you think your child is responsible enough to manage the risk that comes with opening up […]

What I'm Doing Now – January 2018

January 30, 2018 Leave a Comment

It’s still (barely) January of 2018 and I’m doing my best to try to new things, take breaks from old things, be more strategic, practice tiny habits, and spend time with my sweet boys and family. I’ve even committed to a weekly early morning swim with a dear friend to just ritualize something beautiful for the […]

How To Treat Lice And When To Ask for A Prescription

January 18, 2018 Leave a Comment

This is a follow up post to my recent post on treating head lice. It’s all just a major inconvenience. And worse than having lice is having lice again and again. And even worse than your child getting re-infested may be treating lice with an ineffective therapy. Enter…..”super lice.” Ewwwww. Although please know that their […]

MLK Day, The New Year And Tiny Habits

January 15, 2018 1 Comment

I’m quieted today by the profound example of Martin Luther King Jr. and one of his many enduring proclamations, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?” The answer I often feel is “not enough.” While most of us spend portions of our everyday caring for or enriching the lives […]

How To Help Your Gassy Baby

December 7, 2017 1 Comment

Things to give to new parents: smart books. Awesome things to give to new parents: books about how babies eat and poop. What and how babies eat and how they fart and poop (and sleep) are basically all new parents think about. I’m not exaggerating — of course the most emotional part of new parenthood […]

I'm Not Eating Meat Raised With Antibiotics Anymore

November 14, 2017 7 Comments

A lot of people don’t eat meat for all sorts of reasons. You know why: their health, the environment, they don’t want to eat animals, just doin’ the right thing for the planet. I’ve gone through times in my life where I didn’t eat meat. Now I do again. The more I learn about health […]

6 Tips To Help A Child With Autism Eat Better

October 25, 2017 2 Comments

There are ways to support picky eaters and children who refuse new foods. I’m back with Dr. Dolezal further discussing feeding challenges for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The first post explored why children with Autism have challenges with eating (almost 90% do). I often say that a typically developing child will not starve […]
