If we’re checking your child, we need your attention too.

We get it, life is busy, messages are nonstop, and you’re juggling a lot. But during a paediatric consultation, your child deserves your full focus.

Every symptom, every concern, every question needs your input. Looking down at your phone means we miss critical details, and so do you.

It’s not just impolite, it affects your child’s care.

Let’s work together, distraction-free. Your child’s health deserves it.

Not all “healthy” snacks are what they seem.

From granola bars to veggie chips, some kid snacks are marketing in disguise, loaded with sugar, salt or processed fillers.

In this Love It or Leave It edition, we’re breaking down options so you can make better snack choices for your child’s growing body and brain.

Smart swaps can make a big difference, and it doesn’t mean taking the fun out of food.

Think your go-to snack makes the cut? Comment what you pack and we’ll rate it in the next edition. Let’s snack smarter, together.

It’s a common mistake, your child has a fever and you think antibiotics will fix it.

But most fevers are caused by viral infections like the flu, not bacterial ones. And antibiotics? They don’t touch viruses.

Overusing them can do more harm than good, weakening your child’s immune system and fuelling antibiotic resistance.

Not sure what’s behind the fever? Visit us for the right diagnosis and care. Let’s treat what’s actually wrong.

Picky eater at home? You’re definitely not alone.

From chicken nuggets to sugary cereals, some kid favourites are secretly solid choices, others, not so much.

In this edition of Love It or Leave It, we’re breaking down 10 popular kids’ foods and whether they’re helping or hurting your child’s nutrition.

Feeding kids doesn’t have to be a battle. You just need the facts and a bit of strategy.

Book a consult at www.werkidsja.com and let’s build better mealtime habits together. Helping picky eaters thrive is what we do best.

Thinking about daycare? Here’s what your paediatrician really thinks.

It’s one of the hardest decisions for parents, and one of the most common questions we get.

Daycare can be a great environment for learning, social development, and independence, but timing, readiness, and the right fit matter.

Dr. Franklin-Banton shares what she looks for in a good daycare and why every child’s needs are different.
It’s not just about convenience, it’s about connection, safety, and support.

Considering daycare? Come in and let’s talk about what’s best for your child, your family, and your peace of mind.

Still can't smell properly after your flu symptoms have cleared?

That lingering loss of smell isn’t something to brush off. It could signal post-viral inflammation or even damage to your olfactory nerves.

For some people, it’s the beginning of chronic sinusitis or long-term nasal complications.
And no,just because you can breathe doesn’t mean your sinuses are fine.

Whether it's from the flu, or repeated colds, if your sense of smell hasn’t returned after weeks, it's time to get it checked.

Early ENT intervention can make a big difference in recovery.

Book your sinus assessment with Dr Ryan Lodenquai at www.werfamilymedical.com Your nose might be trying to tell you something important.

An outstanding turnout and a strong showing from the players on the pitch. Thank you to the parents for the trust, commitment, and support that make opportunities like this possible, and to the players who showed focus, discipline, and ambition throughout the showcase.

*A number of players will be contacted to discuss next steps and potential opportunities as part of the pathway process.*

One key takeaway shared with the boys by Coach Owen Finberg was clear and consistent: *talent may open doors, but strong grades keep them open.* Academic performance remains critical to maximizing scholarships and long-term opportunities for student-athletes pursuing high school and college pathways in the USA.

We want to thank:
for the use of the field, The management team and coaches at
for the use of their Veo
for the use of their bibs

What if someone else’s sick child was sitting next to yours?

We know it’s hard to miss school. But a fever, cough, runny nose, or sore throat isn’t “just a cold” anymore. Germs spread fast, and one sick child can mean an entire classroom down by Friday.

On this episode of The Truth, we’re saying it plainly: keep them home.
Rest, recover, and reduce the risk for others.

If you’re unsure what’s safe or not, let’s talk. We’re here to guide you.

Every show your child watches is teaching them something, but is it what you want them to learn?

From chaotic cartoons to thoughtful storytelling, the quality of screen time matters. Some shows support speech, emotional intelligence and teamwork. Others? Not so much. As paediatricians, we see how these choices show up in real life, from attention span to behaviour.

What shows do you let your child watch and why? Drop your favourites below and let’s start the conversation.

Hepatitis B might sound intimidating, but here’s what every parent needs to know.

This virus quietly attacks the liver and is often symptomless in children, which means it can spread before you even realise something’s wrong. It can pass from mother to baby during birth or through contact with infected blood or body fluids.

The solution? A safe, effective vaccine given shortly after birth that protects for years. And the younger a child is when exposed, the higher the risk of chronic infection, which is why early protection is everything.

Let’s talk about it. Come in and ask your questions, get peace of mind, and protect your little one from the start. Book your visit at werkidsja.com.
