More kids than you might expect are showing signs of high blood pressure, something we typically think of as an adult issue. Early detection, healthy daily habits, and regular checkups are more important than ever. Our very own Dr. Maggie Chalson spoke with CBS News about the rising rates of high blood pressure in children and why it is so important for parents to stay aware, ask questions during visits, and support healthy routines at home. If you have any questions, please reach out to your trusted Allied pediatrician.

As CBS News New York's John Dias reports, the numbers have doubled, prompting more concerns about childhood obesity.
