⁉️A lot of big emotions in kids come from thoughts that feel very certain, very permanent, or very personal.

“They don’t like me.”
“I ruined everything.”

✅Thought flipping isn’t about positive thinking or talking kids out of their feelings. It’s about helping them loosen the thought that’s driving the emotion and realize there’s more than one way to understand what’s happening.

🤗When the thought softens, the feeling often becomes more manageable. Not gone. Just smaller. And that pause matters.

😡⁉️Sibling conflict can feel exhausting, especially when it shows up day after day. But fighting does not mean the relationship is broken. Siblings are learning how to stay connected in a relationship they did not choose and cannot leave.

✅What matters most is not avoiding conflict, but learning how to repair afterward. That skill shapes how our kids relate to friends, partners, and coworkers for the rest of their lives.

Conflict is part of connection.

Kids do not time their fevers or stomach aches around appointment availability. That is why Lighthouse Pediatrics offers same-day and next-day visits for urgent concerns, along with direct messaging for quick questions.

Parents deserve guidance they can count on, especially when a child suddenly feels unwell.

If you are looking for responsive, relationship-based pediatric care on the Eastside, I would love to meet you.

➡️Constipation is one of the most common concerns I hear from parents, and it can be surprisingly stressful for kids and families. The good news is that most constipation gets better with simple changes in hydration, routine, and comfort strategies.

🚨This guide walks through the signs to look for, what truly helps, what usually doesn’t, and when it is time to check in. Every child is different, and small early steps can make a big difference.

🌡️🤒Fevers can feel scary, especially when the number on the thermometer jumps higher than you expected. But in most cases, fever is simply the immune system doing its job. The number matters less than how your child looks, drinks, breathes, and acts overall.

➡️In this reel, I break down what fever really means, what actually matters, and what parents can stop worrying about. You’re doing a great job, even on the tough nights.

Newborn days are joyful, exhausting, and full of questions 🤍 and you shouldn’t have to wait for answers.|

At Lighthouse Pediatrics, families have direct access to care, early check-ins, and support when something just feels off. From feeding worries and spit-ups to rashes, sleep questions, and all the tiny moments that feel big, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re looking for a pediatrician who’s easy to reach and truly gets to know your family, I’d love to meet you 😊
Meet and Greet appointments are available.

Colds and allergies can look very similar, especially this time of year 🤧🌼
It can be tough to tell when your child’s stuffy nose is a cold and when it might be allergies, especially this time of year. Both can cause runny noses, crankiness, and disrupted sleep, so you’re definitely not alone if you’ve wondered which one you’re dealing with.

This guide breaks down the most common symptoms and the patterns that help parents tell the difference. If your child’s breathing looks harder, symptoms hang around longer than expected, or you’re simply unsure, I’m here to help.

You can always reach out, even for the quick “is this normal?” questions.

If your baby hates tummy time, you’re not doing anything wrong 💙

A lot of babies struggle with it at first, and that’s okay. Starting on your chest, offering a little support, and keeping sessions short can make a big difference.

Even 30 seconds counts ⏱️

And try not to compare. Every baby builds strength on their own timeline, not on Instagram’s 🙂👶

If tummy time feels stressful or confusing, having someone walk you through it can help. We’re here to make this stage feel a little easier for families 🤍

Parents often hear about the flu in terms of getting the vaccine every year, and how rough it can be.

What's less talked about is how efficiently kids spread it, often before symptoms even begin.

Preschool and school-age kids are especially effective at passing the flu to others (including us parents! 😳) which is why it can move so quickly at school and at home.

Understanding how illnesses spread can help parents make sense of how quickly things change during the cold and flu season.

If you're looking for clear guidance and a pediatrician who takes time to explain the "why," Lighthouse Pediatrics is here to help!❤

📱 After-School Screen Reset (for parents who are so done with meltdowns)

Ever wondered why screen time feels like flipping a switch in your kid’s brain? You’re not imagining it, there’s real brain chemistry behind those after-school crashes.

Here’s what helps: connection, decompression, and choice. Small shifts that can make evenings calmer and help kids build self-regulation skills for the future.

I’ll be unpacking the science and strategies behind this at our next Eastside Family Health Forum: “Screen Time: Challenges and Strategies for Kids and Adults.”
