Mario and Luigi made a special appearance in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)! 🍄🎮

April is Occupational Therapy Month! 💙

We’re proud to recognize the incredible pediatric occupational therapists at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. OTs help children with developmental delays, injuries, neurological conditions, and sensory challenges build the skills they need for everyday life—like self-care, writing, and play.

From inpatient care to outpatient services, their compassionate support helps kids gain strength, develop fine motor skills, and grow more independent every day.

Thank you to our OTs for being there every step of the way and helping children thrive!

A major decision out of California is putting a spotlight on kids’ mental health and social media.

A jury recently found Meta and YouTube liable for mental health harms to children in a first-of-its-kind case focused on social media addiction.

Experts say this moment is an opportunity for families to rethink how kids engage online—and to take steps to stay safe.

Here’s how parents can help protect their children:
💬 Have open, ongoing conversations
⏱️ Set clear limits on screen time
📱 Enforce age requirements
👀 Lead by example with your own habits

Small changes can make a big difference in supporting kids’ well-being. 💙

The study also highlights important racial and ethnic disparities among those affected.

Published March 26 in the journal Injury, these findings underscore the need for increased safety awareness and prevention efforts as e-scooter use continues to grow.

PSA to parents and families from pediatric otolaryngologist, Dr. David Tunkel:

“Peanuts should not be given to infants or any young child before their molar teeth come in because of the risk of choking or inhaling nuts and fragments. If you are concerned about how best to introduce your infant to peanuts to prevent a possible food allergy, please talk to your pediatrician about when and how to start introducing peanut-containing food.”
