  • Are you concerned about your picky eater?

    I was asked the other day, “How do I get my 5-year-old to eat more than the five foods she eats?” Can you relate to this? Is your child a picky eater? Do you struggle with getting him to eat his vegetables? Do you worry she is not eating enough?

  • EpilepsyU presents a Q & A webinar on "epilepsy and children" with Dr. Davis

    This week, EpilepsyU, a part of the Epilepsy Association of Central Florida, hosted a Q & A webinar on “epilepsy and children” featuring Dr. Ron Davis, Pediatric Neurologist and Co-Director of Pediatric Epilepsy for the Level 4 Epilepsy Center at Arnold Palmer Hospital.

  • What color will your baby’s eyes be?

    For me, one of the fascinating aspects of parenthood is witnessing the mysterious combination of myself and my husband that has come about in our daughter. It’s mind-boggling to see how she has received little pieces of each of us, and yet she is her own unique little person as well.

  • 3 Things to Know About Baby’s Tummy Time

    1. Tummy time is an important playtime for babies!

There are days when I meticulously pack a healthy lunch for my preschooler, and she comes home having eaten everything EXCEPT the fruits and vegetables. And sometimes, we’ll sit at the dinner table, and she’s not interested in a single bite. This is pretty normal toddler behavior, but it tends to make moms crazy. We worry that they’re not getting enough nutrients, enough good stuff to keep their growing bodies healthy, so it makes sense to ask the question: do they need a multivitamin?

  • Prevent those "terrible twos" by easing communication frustrations

    One of the most frequent referrals we receive for a speech-language assessment is for the two-year-old child who “does not talk.” The parent interview usually reveals that both the parents and the toddler are at their whit’s end, experiencing daily frustrations due to communication breakdown. Luckily, there’s usually a pretty easy way to alleviate this problem; an augmentative means of communication (AAC).

  • Talking to your kids about pedestrian safety

    We’ve all heard them before. And if you’re a parent, admit it. You’ve probably said them at least a few times by now:

  • Keep your kids movin'!

    Growing up, recess was always one of my favorite times during the day. It was a chance to catch a break from the classroom and run around and play with my friends. And in my playground, there were so many activities to choose from! Do we play fort in the tire tower, or a friendly game of soccer? Or do we simply find a spot in the shade and talk about “life’s problems”?
