The words we use about our kids matter more than we realize.

Our kids are always listening. What we say can become the story they believe about themselves.

If you slip (we all do!), you can always repair it:

“I shouldn’t have said that. I see so many great qualities in you. Let’s figure out what’s going on.”

Let’s be intentional with our words — they leave lasting imprints.

We are continuing to see measles cases circulating throughout Utah.

One of the most important things parents need to know: measles doesn’t start with a rash.

In the beginning, it can look just like a common cold - runny nose, cough, congestion, red or irritated eyes. The classic rash typically doesn’t appear until day 3–5 of illness.

If your child is unvaccinated or under-vaccinated and develops cold symptoms, please call your healthcare provider’s office before coming in. Let them know your child’s vaccination status and your concerns. This allows the office to take appropriate precautions and protect:

• Babies who are too young to be vaccinated
• Children who are immunocompromised
• Patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy
• Other vulnerable members of our community

A simple phone call helps keep everyone safer.

As measles cases rise across the country, awareness and prevention matter more than ever. Let’s work together to protect our kids and our community.

After-school meltdowns that no one else sees?

If your daughter holds it together all day at school - only to completely unravel once she gets home - you are not alone. Many girls are incredibly skilled at “masking” in public. They work so hard to fit in, follow rules, and meet expectations… that home becomes the one place they finally feel safe enough to release it all.

Sometimes, this pattern can be a red flag for autism spectrum disorder - especially in girls, who are often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed because their signs look different and can be more subtle.

If this sounds familiar, it may be worth having a conversation with your child’s provider. Early understanding leads to better support and more peace for your child and your family.

At Healing Arts Pediatrics, we offer comprehensive autism evaluations and compassionate pediatric care for children of all ages. Learn more at healingartspediatrics.com

Children naturally develop an internal sense of safety, comfort, and trust.

Supporting them in recognizing and articulating those feelings is an important part of healthy emotional development.

Sometimes the most powerful response is: “What do you feel?”

Sometimes babies are born with torticollis, a tightness in the neck that causes a side preference.

If left unaddressed, this can lead to positional plagiocephaly—flattening of one side of the head due to pressure and gravity while the skull is still soft.

The good news? Early support matters.

Body-based therapies like craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, physical therapy, and other gentle approaches can help address the underlying restriction.

The ideal time to intervene: around 3–4 months, when the skull is most moldable and treatments are most effective.

Early awareness = better outcomes

Flu Season Support • Part 2
Hydration, elderberry, zinc, and whole foods can help support flu recovery—when used safely and appropriately for your child’s age.

If symptoms become severe or concerning, don’t wait—reach out to a medical professional. Holistic care always includes knowing when more support is needed.

Flu season is in full swing—and many families are feeling it.
Fever, sore throat, body aches, cough, and congestion are everywhere, especially after holiday gatherings. This year has been particularly tough with a circulating flu strain that wasn’t the best match for the vaccine.

But here’s the key takeaway: the flu shot still matters. It helps reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Protection isn’t always perfect—but it’s still powerful.

One of the most common respiratory illnesses I see during the colder months is Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). While many parents may not be familiar with it, RSV is one of the leading causes of respiratory illness in young children, particularly those under the age of 2. The RSV blog post can be found on our website - please visit HealingArtsPediatrics.com to read the full article.
