🥕 Nutrition Tip!

Kids often need multiple exposures to a food before they like it — sometimes 10–15 tries!

If your child says they don’t like a vegetable:
🥦 Offer it again another day
🥕 Serve it a different way
🍽 Let them help prepare it

Patience works!

One of our favorite things about pediatrics is watching kids grow into their personalities.

From silly jokes during checkups to brave high-fives after vaccines, no two days are ever the same — and we love it.

What’s something that always makes your child laugh? 😄
