When I was a kid, I was told I should be a doctor because my handwriting was terrible.
Turns out… they weren’t wrong.

On this Thanksgiving, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all of you- for my patients, my friends, my mentors and colleagues who have supported me and gotten me to this point. I am grateful for all of you who invite me into your lives, whether it is through a screen or an office visit. I am grateful for this space to educate, to advocate, and to be a little bit silly. I am immeasurably grateful for this one wild precious life I have and all the myriad ways I get to fully be myself in it.

Thank you all, for everything.

Breaks make you a better parent, not a worse one.

In medicine we often say “the enemy of good is better” which I feel applies to parenting as well. We’re all trying to be the best version of ourselves, and I think sometimes we forget there can be hundreds of those “best selves”. Statistically, you’re bound to come out ahead if we can just get out of our own way and stop chasing perfection.

Childhood grief doesn’t always look like adult grief — and that’s why it’s so often missed.

1 in 13 children in Texas will experience the loss of a parent or sibling before they turn 18 years old.

Kids feel loss in their bodies, their behavior, their routines… often long before they can put any of it into words.

Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, a changing family, or a big life transition, children need safety, honesty, and connection more than anything else. Some excellent resources with a wealth of information on childhood grief include , , . I have also had the privilege of working closely alongside as a specialist in childhood grieving with her own powerful story.

If you’re navigating a child’s grief right now, you are not alone. Please know that we are here for you and your child, should the need arise- not just on National Child Grief Awareness Day, but every day that a child is grieving.

Screens are everywhere- in our pockets, in our schools, and even helping take orders at your local restaurants. While we know that less screen time is ideal, it's also important to understand how to integrate screens appropriately into the lives of our families. As a pediatrician and mom, here are the ways I think about screens when it comes to our older school age children, ages 5-11! Swipe learn about the top questions I encourage families to consider, and share with a parent of a little one!

Behind every pediatrician and/or mom is a support system that keeps her going — especially during sick season.

What’s lifting you up this time of year?

So what if we tried something new and it didn’t go the way we hoped or planned? Whether it’s a new bedtime, feeding schedule, or parenting tactic, if what we’re trying isn’t working for us, we can always go back to what WAS. The fact that we tried something and it didn’t work isn’t a failure, it’s data. It’s another point of reference, and it gives us more information for what and when we try next, try again, or try differently.
