Dr. Chheda - 🏆 My third grader won first place in a science contest without studying, and his teacher was so excited. I was not. I actually went up to the teacher and said, "I'm not really happy that he got first place in a science contest that he didn't study for." And the teacher was amazed. She's like, "Why not?"
💚 I said, "Well, I don't want everything to be so easy for him. He needs to fail. He needs to know that hard work pays off and it's just not skating through, coasting on everything."
No, let your kids fail. Don't make everything easy for them. They need to know how to pick themselves up from the ground and practice and try again. Just because they don't get it the first time doesn't mean that they stop.
They need to fail so that they learn how to pick themselves back up and try again. That's what life is all about - picking yourself back up, having the resilience to do it. So it's okay, let them fail.

Dr. Chheda - 🥦 A recent study showed that toddlers and children, even teenagers, are not getting enough fiber in their diet. What is fiber and why is it so important?
📊 Fiber needs:
Toddlers/kids: 20 grams/day
Teenagers: 30 grams/day
Reality: Toddlers getting only 5-10 grams!
💚 Two types of fiber:
Soluble (dissolves in water) - prevents gut inflammation, helps immune function
Insoluble - produces bowel movements, prevents colon cancer
⚠️ Why this matters: We're seeing teenagers, 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds diagnosed with colon cancer. Screening age dropped from 50 to 45. Why? They didn't get fiber as kids.
🍎 Fiber sources:
Pear: 5g
Apple: 5g
Whole grains
Triscuits: 4g per serving
You need LOTS of fruits & vegetables daily to prevent autoimmune diseases, eczema, infections, and colon cancer.

🌟 "I couldn’t be happier with our ear piercing experience at Harmony Pediatrics! Dr. Chheda provided a high level of care and attentiveness, making both my baby and me feel completely comfortable. The instructions she and her staff gave me made me confident I could properly care for my daughter’s ears. The surgical plastic earrings were perfect, and the procedure was smooth and stress-free. Our experience was so wonderful that I chose Harmony Pediatrics for all three of my daughter’s ear piercings. Highly recommend Dr. Chheda and her team!" 🌟 - N.L.

Dr. Chheda - 👶 What are the five S's that Dr. Harvey Karp has talked about to have a happy baby? These are the five S's that all pediatricians talk about.
The five S's include:
1️⃣ Swaddling your baby
2️⃣ Swinging your baby
3️⃣ Side (having baby lay on their side or stomach while swinging)
4️⃣ Shushing your baby
5️⃣ Sucking on something (like a pacifier)
💚 If you do this on a regular basis, you will have the happiest baby on the block.

Dr. Chheda - ✈️ Okay, holiday season is coming up and you might want to travel with your toddler. So your toddler, between the ages of 12 months to 24 months - you know, just before they hit the age of 2 - if you want to fly on a plane, should you get them an extra seat or not?
👶 So just remember, if you've got this 15, 18-month-old and you don't want to buy that extra seat, you're gonna have to keep your toddler confined to a space about this big on your lap for the entirety of the flight. And they're really gonna want to jump up and run around, and that's not safe for anybody.
💚 So you might want to get that extra seat for your toddler. Just think about it. I know it's a financial expense, but it might help keep your sanity.

Dr. Chheda - 🌶️ One way to get kids to eat food is to spice it up. Put different spices on your food. Try something different and see if they like the taste of it, because food tastes so much better when there's flavor to it.
🧂 Mrs. Dash is a great one because they have different flavorings, different combinations, and it doesn't have any sodium in it. This is just a sample of what I have. I also have other spices as well too. I have a whole revolving rack. And of course, every Indian house has their own spice box as well too.
🥦 But if you can, just put some flavor onto your vegetables - not make them bland or boring - but give them maybe a little heat, a little sweetness, a little something, a little pizazz. And then your kids might start actually eating their vegetables.

🩺 Are your teens doing their monthly breast exams? It is a misconception that breast cancer or lumps only happen when girls are older. A lot of times teenage girls will have fibrocystic breasts, especially around the time of their periods.
💚 Fibrocystic breasts are just benign, non-cancerous thickening of your breast tissue. It usually happens because of hormone fluctuations during your period. They can feel kind of ropey, lumpy, might be uncomfortable or tender.
📅 It's really important for your girls to do monthly breast exams once they get their period. Best time: on their last day of period or just after. Let them get a feel for how their breasts typically feel - the texture. If they feel anything worrisome, give us a call: 770-475-9924.

Dr. Chheda - 🌿 Patient recently told me that whenever he goes outside, his anxiety goes away. Of course! Nature is a great healer. We were not meant to be inside. We were not meant to be cooped up just staring at a screen all day long. We're supposed to be outside.
🌞 You know, our body was made to garner vitamin D from the sun, to get melatonin, to calm down with the presence of plants, of animals, to hear the sounds of birds. It is very calming.
💚 If you feel like you are stressed out, or your kid is just having a temper tantrum, just go outside for a few minutes and you will see how easy it is to help relax those emotions.
Make it part of your daily ritual to go outside at some point, to just decompress, to get away from screens, and just see how more relaxed you actually feel. It will be amazing.
They should never take away recess, outdoor recess, from school because kids need to be outside.
