How to manage a nosebleed
One of the more common reasons to visit a pediatric ENT is for nosebleeds, also known as epistaxis. Nosebleeds are extremely common. These can range in severity from a small amount of blood in the nasal mucus to bleeding like from a faucet. In any case, particularly when it happens in your child, it can be very scary. -

The Puzzle Theory
Are puzzles in your toddler’s toy basket? If not, you may want to reconsider. These challenging games are a great tool to keep your child entertained and help stimulate their minds.

The struggle to keep your cool as a parent.
Have you ever watched those nature shows on television about animals in the wild? I love the ones with the mamas and their babies. Not too long ago, I saw one about a mama bear and her little cubs.

Mom was immediately on her two back legs, lunging, clawing, and snarling, looking terrifyingly angry. She effectively sent the message that she is not to be messed with, especially when it came to her cubs.
Sometimes, I feel like that mama bear, too.
A few years ago, my son was attending a day camp. The camp went on a field trip, and there was a “miscommunication of sorts” between my son and the camp counselors regarding eating lunch. Long story short, he had his lunch with him but didn’t eat it when he was supposed to (he said he never heard them give instructions to eat), and when he asked to eat later, he was told that he couldn’t, and that he had missed lunch and lunchtime was over. -
