Preschools need to STOP treating boys like “problems” that need to be solved

Too often I am seeing normal boys being labeled and normal behavior been seen as problematic

I diagnosed my daughter with appendicitis when she was 10…

Here is what you need to know about appendicitis in your child

Peak age 10-19 ( youngest case I’ve seen is a 18 month old)

Abdominal pain migrating to R side , loss of appetite , fever , nausea , vomiting are most common signs

Blood work and Ultrasound are considered the standard first tests

NOT all cases need surgery - many kids can be treated without an operation

Appendicitis can run in families !

Most common diagnoses that can look like appendicitis : Constipation , Viral infections , UTI, Pneumonia

How did your child present ? What happened in the ER?

4 products you NEED to keep on hand to help your kids during the winter viral season

1) acetaminophen / ibuprofen

2) Oral Rehydrstion solution : I recommend

3) Zinc / Probiotic : I recommend ( use MROMICHAEL for 30% discount )

4) nasal saline - with infants in winter, suctioning the nose can significantly help breathing and feeding when they are sick.
I LOVE

Most parents don’t realize their child is iron deficient until it starts affecting development.

But here’s the reality:
About 15% of babies between 12–23 months in the U.S. are iron deficient, and this is one of the most important windows for brain development.

Iron plays a critical role in:
• attention, focus and sleep
• brain connectivity
• motor development

Why does this happen?
1️⃣ Drinking too much cow’s milk
2️⃣ Not eating enough iron-rich foods

This is why I recommend a clean, third-party tested iron supplement as a safety net, especially during the toddler years.

And here’s an important tip:
Iron should always be paired with vitamin C because vitamin C helps your child absorb the mineral much more effectively.

The supplement I recommend is MaryRuth’s Organics Iron + Vitamin C. Use my code MROMICHAEL from their website for a 30% discount.

Small nutritional gaps during this stage can have a big impact, but they’re also very easy to fix when you know what to look for.

For all of the details on the importance of iron, comment the word IRON below, and I’ll send you my free PDF with all of the details.
