🎄✨ 𝐓𝐨𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬! ✨🎄

This morning, Riley's Army visited Eastern Pediatrics to pick up the incredible collection of toys donated for other children in our community who need a little extra joy this holiday season. It was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with compassion and generosity!

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to every parent, child, and supporter who took the time to stop by, drop off a gift, and share kindness with families who are going through difficult moments. Each toy represents a smile, a spark of excitement, and a reminder to these children that they are cared for and supported.

Being a part of this mission to uplift children and spread holiday cheer means so much to our entire team. We are honored to support Riley’s Army and families not just during the holidays, but throughout the year as they navigate some of their toughest challenges.

Thank you again for helping make a difference. 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐣𝐨𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.🎅🏼🎁💜

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲: 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 🦃💜

The holidays are a time for family, fun, and celebrations; but for kids, all the excitement, travel, and changes in routine can sometimes feel overwhelming. Even happy events can bring stress, anxiety, or overstimulation, and recognizing these feelings is important for your child’s well-being.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧:
-𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬: Try to keep regular bedtimes, meals, and quiet time even during busy days.
-𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Encourage kids to share their thoughts and worries about travel, crowds, or changes in schedule.
-𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Short walks, backyard games, or even dancing around the living room can help release stress.
-𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Drawing, reading, or simple crafts provide downtime and a sense of control.
-𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬: Deep breaths, gentle stretches, or a few minutes of mindful breathing can calm nerves.

Remember, small strategies can make a big difference. If your child seems unusually anxious, withdrawn, or upset during the holidays, the team at 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 is here to help guide and support you. 💜

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲: 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 🍂

As fall and winter settle in, many children feel the shift in shorter days, cooler weather, and busier routines. Less sunlight and outdoor play can affect mood, energy, and motivation; and it’s completely normal.

𝐓𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
•Try to get outside for a few minutes of daylight each day.
•Find fun ways to stay active indoors.
•Keep consistent sleep routines.
•Encourage kids to talk about how they’re feeling and remind them that it’s okay to have tough days.
If mood changes feel persistent or you're concerned, 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭. Give us a call today! 💜

🌟 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲! 🌟

Today we’re excited to highlight 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, our wonderful 𝑩𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑨𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 here at Eastern Pediatrics. Her love for being around little ones brings so much warmth to our office: their giggles, their sweetness, and their bright personalities make every day special. She feels most proud when she’s able to help a parent and child in a moment of need, reminding her why she loves being part of this team.

Franceline is all about keeping visits smooth, and her top tip for first-time parents is to arrive 15 minutes early and complete pre-check-in. In the office, she loves making kids smile with her playful baby voice and by sharing a pretty sticker to brighten their day.

Outside of work, her fun spirit shines. “If You Had My Love” by Jennifer Lopez instantly boosts her mood, and she enjoys dancing in her living room and running. Childhood favorites like Batman and Sesame Street still make her smile, and her favorite color is blue!

We are so grateful for the kindness, joy, and positivity Franceline brings to our Eastern Pediatrics family. 💙
