🧠 Kids & Mental Health: It Matters More Than Ever 💬
Mental health isn't just an adult issue. Kids and teens feel stress, anxiety, sadness, and overwhelm too—and sometimes, they don’t have the words to tell us.

At Premier Pediatrics, we believe caring for your child means caring for their whole health—mind and body.

🚸 Signs your child might be struggling:
Sudden mood swings or irritability
Trouble sleeping or eating
Withdrawing from friends or activities
Drop in school performance
Frequent complaints of stomachaches or headaches

✨ The good news? You’re not alone—and neither are they.
Our providers are here to support you with screenings, referrals, and conversations that help your child feel seen, safe, and supported.

Let’s break the stigma together. Mental health is health. ❤️

⏳ “Let’s just wait it out…”
We get it—kids catch everything, and sometimes those sniffles or sore throats seem like no big deal.

But at Premier Pediatrics, we’ve seen how “just a cold” can turn into:
❗ Strep throat
❗ Ear infections
❗ Pneumonia
❗ RSV
❗ Skin infections
❗ Untreated allergies or asthma

Some symptoms may seem minor, but when they linger or get worse, your child may need more than rest and fluids.

👂 Ear pain? Could be an infection.
😷 Cough hanging on? Might be more than a virus.
🤒 Rash? We can help identify the cause.
🧒 Still not acting like themselves? That’s your sign to check in.

💬 “You can’t be too careful. I’d rather see them and reassure you than miss something important.” – Dr. Dowse

We’re here when your gut says, “Maybe we shouldn’t wait.”

🤧 Sniffles or Something More? Let’s Talk Allergies! 🌼
Is your child constantly sneezing, rubbing their eyes, or dealing with a never-ending runny nose—especially when the seasons change? It might be more than just a cold… it could be allergies.

At Premier Pediatrics, we’re here to help you tell the difference and find relief!

👃 Common allergy signs:
✔️ Sneezing fits
✔️ Itchy, watery eyes
✔️ Runny or stuffy nose
✔️ Cough that won’t quit
✔️ Worsening at certain times of year or around pets

✨ The good news? We can help you:
✅ Identify triggers
✅ Recommend safe, kid-friendly treatments
✅ Explore testing or referrals if needed
✅ Get ahead of allergy season before it strikes again

Let’s help your little one breathe easier, sleep better, and feel like themselves again! Call or text us at 435-865-7227 or schedule online at PremierPediatrics.net.

🩺 Why Well Checks Are Crucial for Your Child’s Health 🩺
At Premier Pediatrics, we believe well visits are about much more than just shots and measuring height. They’re about getting a baseline—understanding your child’s unique “normal”—so we can quickly spot any changes or concerns before they become serious.

Dr. Dowse shares:

"I remember diagnosing a high-school athlete with a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia, a 2-year-old found to have a malignant tumor, and a 5-year-old in early-stage diabetes. Each of these children seemed perfectly healthy at the time. You can’t be too careful."

Having consistent care with the same trusted pediatrician means:
🔹 We know your child’s medical history inside and out
🔹 We notice subtle changes others might miss
🔹 We build a relationship that helps your child feel comfortable and safe

The annual well check is our best tool for early detection and ongoing wellness—and nothing beats peace of mind.

Don’t wait until your child feels sick—schedule their well visit today and give them the healthiest start possible!

At Premier Pediatrics, well visits are about more than shots—they help us understand your child’s unique “normal” and catch health issues early.

Dr. Dowse recalls spotting serious conditions in seemingly healthy kids—arrhythmia, tumors, early diabetes. These stories remind us: You can’t be too careful.

Consistent care with the same pediatrician means better early detection and peace of mind for your family.

Don’t wait until your child feels sick—schedule their well check today and give them the healthiest start possible!
