At Columbus Pediatric Associates, our mission is to provide excellent medical care as we partner with parents in raising our future. From birth to 18 years, children change so much physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially. We understand children are not “small adults.” We value the importance of preventative medicine, as well as, providing quality care when illness does occur. We appreciate the trust our families put in us, and we are privileged to be a part of their children’s lives.

Changes in routine like altered sleep schedules or meal times can increase stress and lead to crankiness or behavior changes.

Plan ahead by packing snacks, entertainment, and comfort items, maintain regular sleep routines as much as possible, and allow extra time for stops or delays. Bring along coloring books, puzzles, storybooks, or small travel games to keep kids engaged without screens during the trip.

Call our office or send us a portal message for advice on travel safety, motion sickness, or managing health needs while on the go.

Your child’s pediatric provider plays a key role in coordinating care with specialists, including sending referrals, reviewing test results, and ensuring treatments are consistent.

This helps families avoid gaps in care and unnecessary appointments, while keeping all providers on the same page.

Important Fact: Some insurances require up to date wellness visits before a referral to a specialist can be initiated…another reason why staying up to date on wellness care is so important.

If you need help with care coordination or to schedule your child’s wellness visit, reach out to us today.

Hanukkah, also called the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday that celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Families often celebrate by lighting the menorah each night, playing the dreidel game, giving small gifts, and enjoying traditional foods like latkes and sufganiyot.

We wish you a bright and joyful Hanukkah filled with love, light, and family traditions.

Children in grade school may start noticing early body changes such as growth spurts, changes in body shape, or the beginnings of puberty.

For girls, puberty typically starts between 8–13 years, often beginning with breast development, followed by p***c hair and a growth spurt. For boys, puberty usually starts between 9–14 years, often beginning with testicular enlargement, followed by p***c hair and a growth spurt.

These changes can start at different ages for each child.

Open conversations about their body, privacy, and healthy habits help children feel comfortable and confident.

Well visits are a great time for your provider to assess puberty changes and give guidance on what to expect and when. Call today to schedule an appointment.

Do you know how many hours per day your toddler should be sleeping?

Toddlers typically need about 11–14 hours of sleep per 24 hours, including naps. Most children between 1 and 2 years take 1–2 naps per day, while 3-year-olds often transition to a single nap or may skip naps entirely.
Consistent sleep routines help toddlers feel secure and well-rested. Establish a regular bedtime, calming pre-sleep activities, and a predictable nighttime routine.

Keep your toddler in their own sleep environment to encourage independent sleep, and if transitioning from a crib to a big kid bed, offer comfort items, use positive reinforcement, and allow time to adjust gradually.

Limit screen time before bed, keep the room dark and quiet, and offer a favorite stuffed animal for comfort.

Consistency is key for better sleep and overall mood.

Well rested toddlers = happy parents.

Call our office if your toddler struggles with sleep. Our team can provide personalized strategies that work for your family in order to help your child rest better.

Selecting a pediatrician before your baby arrives allows you to establish care, ask questions about newborn care, and prepare for routine checkups and vaccinations.

Consider factors like location, office hours, availability for questions (after hours), and whether they provide support for breastfeeding or postpartum concerns.

Columbus Pediatric Associates offers meet and greet appointments for expecting parents. Call our office to schedule a visit to meet our team before your baby is born.

Teens often experience headaches, stomachaches, and other common discomforts due to stress, growth, hormones, or diet.

Most minor complaints can be managed with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies. Keeping a symptom diary that tracks frequency, triggers, and severity can help both families and providers identify patterns and guide treatment.

However, persistent, severe, or worsening symptoms, vomiting, dizziness, or unexplained weight loss require medical evaluation.

Call our office if your teen’s symptoms are concerning or impacting daily life. Same-day sick visits are available, and early evaluation helps prevent complications.

Rashes are common in children and can range from mild irritation to signs of infection.

Some rashes, like eczema or heat rash, are usually harmless, while others such as rashes with fever, spreading redness, or blisters require prompt evaluation.

Pay attention to symptoms like pain, swelling, or changes in behavior.

If you’re unsure whether your child’s rash needs attention, call our office and we can guide you on next steps and provide timely care. You can also message us on our patient portal and include a photo.
