The toddler years are marked with tantrums, meltdowns, and crying fits. Sometimes from both the child and the parents. The “Terrible Twos” makes it sound like a one-year event, but actually, it starts much earlier and continues much longer.

Alisa Bahl, PhD, is a child psychologist who specializes in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. This type of therapy focuses on strengthening the bond between parent and child and fostering understanding.

As someone who is a parent and has worked with parents, Bahl is deeply sympathetic to where parents are. “Parenting is one of the hardest jobs there is. And there’s no training course. No manual. No coach,” she shares.

💜 In a recent Conversations with a Child Psychologist webinar, Bahl shared some of her top positive behavior management tips for parents. Read more at https://bit.ly/49lrGZG

Allergies can significantly affect children's quality of life. From the persistent troubles of eczema to the scary flares of asthma, these problems can keep kids from exploring the outdoors or trying out new activities they may enjoy.

At UVA Health Children's, Samantha Minnicozzi, MD, offers specialty help for children with asthma, eczema, and food allergies, including a multidisciplinary care program for children with Alpha-gal, a tick-borne illness that causes sudden allergy to mammalian products like meat or dairy.
