This page is all about little ones. As a pediatrician, I love kids. They help us remember lessons that we knew years ago but have long since forgotten. They remind us to be honest, to stop worrying and to live every day with unbridled joy. They remind us of what innocence looks like.
Here I’ll mix information with stories, so get ready for a little of both. I’ll start with giving you links to some of the latest pediatric information and articles coming out. Later, we will get to stories from old parenting classes I’ve taught, as well as investigating how situations we encounter with our kids are a picture of encounters we still have in the adult world today. I’m just getting started, so be patient. But for now, get your car seats strapped in and let’s get going!
