Where did the year go? It’s that time of year again. Our kids must remember material from the beginning of the semester. That is a lot of information! If your child doesn’t get even a bit stressed, that’s great! As parents, we want our kids to do well.

Is your child well organized and needs minimal help with their studying? That’s awesome.

Unfortunately, with ADHD, most kids procrastinate. We nag and/or give consequences. It’s usually having to do with some type of screen being taken away. The drama! And…. they usually end up cramming the night before anyway. The joy of parenting!

Each child is unique and will adapt to the best study strategies that help them. Others may need a bit more help from us.

Good Luck Kids!! and Parents! Check out these sites for more!

Constipation and Abdominal Pain by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD

My 5-year-old daughter loves to ask me to buy Activia, so she can “poop more” and because of her impression, thanks to crafty marketing, that Activia has more vitamins than her favorite yogurt. We see constipation constantly in the pediatric office and it is, no doubt, a struggle for many children in the first world. In contrast, diarrhea is the leading killer of children in the third world.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

We celebrate moms this week—breastfeeding moms, pumping moms, supplementing moms and formula feeding moms. This week is a great opportunity to talk about breastfeeding. But first, this week is also a great opportunity to talk about what happens when breastfeeding doesn’t go well. We see moms in our practice every day who struggle with breastfeeding for a variety of reasons—poor latch, insufficient supply, etc. Through all of the struggles, our primary priority is the health of you moms and your babies.

Parenting and Power Struggles by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD

Roughly 20% of all children will present with a psychiatric diagnosis before 18. Asking for a family tree of psychiatric problems at the first well baby visit might someday become part of pediatric screening and at some point, mapping out genetic susceptibility to psychiatric illness is probably a good idea for each child. But parents can prepare for psychiatric problems also by employing the best positive parenting practices—minimizing power struggles and simultaneously taking care to get to know their child’s motivations and feelings as well as possible.
