Online scheduling is for acute sick visits- like those surprise ear pains, sore throat, or fevers.

If you don’t see an opening, just give us a call at 407-767-2477, and we’ll be happy to get your child scheduled!

For consults or chronic concerns, please call our office. We want to set aside the right amount of time for your provider to give your child the best care possible.

Today is Autism Awareness Day 💙

A little reminder that every child experiences the world in their own unique way.

Kindness, patience, and understanding go a long way.

Most kids go through phases of eating very selectively.

It doesn’t mean they’ll always eat this way.

Sleep regressions can feel like you’re back at the beginning.

But this is a normal part of development.

Growth and routine changes- all impact sleep.

It doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.

Stay consistent. This phase will pass.

If sleep changes persist, or your child seems unusually fussy or unwell, consider scheduling an appointment- illness can also impact sleep.

When parents walk beside their child, guiding and coaching instead of rescuing, children build resilience, frustration tolerance, and the belief that they can overcome hard things.

Children are still learning how to process and regulate their emotions. See their emotions as data- take it as information to help you figure out what is driving those big emotions. Once you shift to this mindset, their emotions will become less likely to trigger your own emotions. Also look at your emotions as data- what do you need? What led you to feel frustrated? Maybe you need to take some time to fill your cup too.

Children don’t need perfection…they need love, patience, and someone who believes in them.

Showing up, listening, and supporting them through challenges helps build the confidence they carry for life. And when we don’t get it just right, what they need most is a parent willing to restore, reconnect, and try again.

When children face challenges, they’re also learning perseverance, problem-solving, confidence, and resilience. With support and encouragement, those moments help shape who they become.
