There's a lot of recent hype about magnesium and how it can help with a lot of different health conditions, but not all magnesium is the same! One type of magnesium may help with one condition but do nothing for another. Pay attention to the type listed as an active ingredient, and not necessarily what the name of the medicine on the front of the bottle says it treats. I've seen bottles of magnesium citrate labelled as helping kids to sleep or relax (spoiler alert, magnesium citrate doesn't do this). Refer to the list below for the specific type of magnesium your child may need.

- Magnesium glycinate: helps sleep, relaxation, mood
- Magnesium malate: helps improve energy, chronic pain
- Magnesium taurate: helps stabilize blood sugar, heart health, relaxation
- Magnesium citrate: helps with digestion, constipation
- Magnesium L-threonate: helps prevent migraines, helps with depression and anxiety
- Magnesium oxide: helps with constipation and heartburn

A federal judge ruled that RFK Jr's reappointment of members of the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices in the CDC was unconstitutional and that therefore, any changes this "kangaroo committee" instituted also cannot be implemented, including the the federal childhood immunizations schedule changes proposed earlier this year. This ruling is an important win for child health!

While Dr. Cevey was not planning to change her approach to routine childhood immunizations, this decision is still meaningful on a national level. It reinforces that vaccine recommendations should be guided by science, medical expertise, and a process built to protect childrenโ€™s health.

For families, this is an important reminder that trusted pediatric guidance still matters. Parents should continue to have conversations with their pediatrician and rely on evidence-based recommendations when making decisions about their childโ€™s care.

This is a win for public health, for pediatric medicine, and most importantly, for children.

Collaborative Spotlight: Meet Dr. Jill Thurber

At Cevey Pediatrics, we strongly believe that nurturing healthy interactions between parents and children contributes to optimal development of children's emotional and mental health. That's why we are excited to highlight Dr. Jill Thurber, a local board-certified psychologist with more than 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families.

Through her Integrated Parentโ„ข approach, she works with families to better understand their child's unique temperament and strengths while empowering parents with practical tools that build connection and resilience.

In addition to her therapy, consultative, coaching, and support group in-person services, we also encourage signing up for Dr. Jill's free newsletter and exploring parent resources on her website, which provide thoughtful guidance rooted in research and decades of clinical experience.

As kids get older and life becomes more complex, it is normal for kids to experience feelings of not feeling happy. Worry, sadness, fear, etc... they're not an indication that your child has a full-on psychiatric or psychologic diagnosis, they are just an indication that right now their life experience isn't what they'd prefer. But that's a part of life and that's okay. A child counselor or therapist helps a child identify what he/she is feeling and how to cope in a productive manner with those feelings that may be a normal response to a negative life situation. A psychologist obviously can do this also, but also specializes in "talk therapy" to try to help a patient deal with emotional disruptions that may no longer be directly tied to a specific trigger anymore. Over the next several weeks, I'm going to highlight a few groups/individuals that I have had past excellent experience with helping my patients. This week's spotlight is on Bird and Branch, PLLC, who can help with general areas of counseling and therapy but also specializes in helping with recovery from phobias and complex anxiety.

Bird & Branch, PLLC is a San Antonio therapy practice providing trauma-informed counseling for children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Their compassionate, personalized approach helps families build resilience and move toward healing. To learn more, give them a visit at http://www.birdandbranch.love/ and

Will Dr. Cevey make 1 out of 100 attempts to hit a 3-point shot?!?

Confession: Dr. Cevey wasnโ€™t exactly gifted with the athletic geneโ€ฆ and PE was the only class she ever got a B in. Meanwhile: Emily played basketball for 6 years and Josh ran cross country for 6 years!

So hereโ€™s the challenge:
100 three-point shots.
Will Dr. Cevey make at least ONE?

Comment below: how many do you think sheโ€™ll make out of 100? ๐Ÿ‘‡
(Closest guess gets a shoutout!)

Stay tuned for warmer weather for the test of skills with Dr. Cevey!

When my daughter realized during Thanksgiving that her brother wouldn't be able to come home for semester break this year, I couldn't help but feel the disappointment in her voice. Though apparently they chat and message each other more often than he chats and messages with the rest of the family, she seemed to really miss not getting to physically see him, so I decided that the best Christmas present for them would be to fly Emily to Hangzhou to visit Joshua and experience a small taste of the culture he's been living in for the last 1.5 years.

Below are some pictures Emily sent us during her visit! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Screens are everywhere. A few clear habits can help protect your childโ€™s sleep, development, and family time.

๐—•๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ
Under 18 months:
-Minimize or avoid screen media as much as possible (except video chatting).
Preschool age and up:
Appropriate, but with limits. Preschoolers shouldn't exceed 15-20 minutes a day, and even on school holidays and breaks, limits for teenagers should be capped at less than 2 hours, ideally broken up into blocks of no more than a half hour at a time. For kids in school, "academic screen time" is considered separately, and on school days, it's important to limit "leisure screen time" accordingly to allow for adequate hours of sleep and activity (see below).

-Co view or co play when you can. Watching or playing together helps children learn more and gives you a chance to talk about what they see.
-When you are busy, supervised independent play (blocks, nesting cups, coloring, pretend play) is often more beneficial than screens.

๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜€ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†
-Sleep: Kids need about 8 to 12 hours, depending on age.
Physical activity: Aim for 1 hour per day.
Time away from media: Build in daily breaks from screens.

๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜€๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€
Pick media free times (family dinners).
Set media free zones (bedrooms).
Avoid devices in bedrooms at night, including TVs, computers, and smartphones.

Children notice our habits. A family plan helps everyone stay aligned, especially when babysitters or grandparents help with caregiving.
