The most important thing you probably aren't teaching your child
One of the many hats that parents, caregivers, coaches, teachers, and child life specialists (like myself) wear is that of a cheerleader. We encourage kids to feel smart, capable, strong, creative, and to be kind to others. But what do we do to teach kids about being kind to themselves?

Get to know Dr. Patricia Wheeler, pediatric geneticist at Arnold Palmer Hospital
You could say that a pediatric geneticist is a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, working to solve the mystery of a child’s medical condition. Geneticists work with families to help determine whether a child’s illness could be caused by a change in a child’s DNA, the hereditary material that carries a person’s genetic information. Accompanied by a team of professionals, a geneticist also helps figure out whether this disorder is likely to be passed on to future generations and helps patients and families seek the best care for their condition. Some common inherited disorders that geneticists diagnose include autism, neurofibromatosis, Down syndrome, sickle cell disease and many more.

How should we communicate with other parents as our kids get older?
As a parent of a big kid, one who is not quite yet a teen but close to it, my husband and I have found that we are starting to allow our child more freedom to do things. He is hanging out with other kids more at our house and their houses. He’s riding his bike to his friend’s houses alone. This means that more and more often, we are trusting other parents to keep an eye on our kid and in turn, we are watching not only our son but his friends, too.

Giving back to the twins' first home
When Ritu and Raja Sandhu found out they were pregnant with twins in 2007, they were over-the-moon excited and looking forward to starting a family together. Following this exciting news, everything seemed to just fall into place. They were talking about baby names and dreaming about their twin’s future nursery, and they couldn’t have asked for an easier pregnancy. It was all happening so fast, yet they were about to be hit with reality a lot sooner than they expected when Ritu went into labor at 27 weeks.

How was your day?
Every day since he’s been old enough to answer, I’ve been asking my son that question when I pick him up at the end of the day. Usually, I get a relatively enthusiastic “good” and not much else. Sometimes, he’ll offer a little more: a few details about kindergarten drama in the cafeteria, maybe a tidbit about how he and his buddies dug a hole on the playground big enough for them to fit inside (that explains the grubby, little fingernails!).
