Here is a mind-blowing fact: While an adult brain uses about 20% of the body's energy, a child's brain is on a whole other level. It devours nearly 50% of their daily glucose! 🤯

This is why "fuel quality" matters so much. High-quality foods = better brain power (and fewer meltdowns!). 🥦🍎

If you are worried about your child's nutrition or growth, Dr. V and the WonderKidz team are here to guide you. Call us at 954-799-4086 to schedule an appointment today! 💚💙

Wiggle into the weekend! 💃🕺 Did you know your little one was born to boogie?

Research shows babies have a natural sense of rhythm before they can even walk. Aside from being adorable, moving to music is great for development! 🧠🎶

Dancing helps build:
✅ Gross Motor Skills: Strengthening little legs and core.
✅ Coordination: Learning body control.
✅ Bonding: Releasing "feel good" chemicals for both of you!

We love watching our patients hit every milestone. Questions about development?

Team Lefty or Team Righty? With toddlers, it is often a mystery! ✋🤚🎨

Most children do not actually develop a dominant hand until they are between 2 and 4 years old. Before then, it is completely normal for them to be "ambidextrous," using both hands equally to grab toys, eat snacks, or scribble masterpieces.

If you notice your little one switching hands constantly, don't worry, their brain is still deciding! Enjoy the guessing game while it lasts.

If you have questions about your child's development, we are here to help. Call us at 954-799-4086 to schedule a check-up! 💚💙

Did you know your baby doesn't have hard kneecaps yet? 😮

It’s true! Babies are born with patellas made of soft cartilage. They don't harden into actual bone until age 3 to 5.

Why? It’s nature’s built-in "shock absorber" to protect their little knees during all that crawling and stumbling! 🛡️

Did you know your baby is ready for fingerprinting the day they are born? 🤯

It's true! Their unique finger loops and whorls fully develop in utero between 17 and 18 weeks and are set for life. That's one amazing tiny human! 💚💙

Did you know your newborn might already be speaking your language? 🗣️🤯

Studies suggest that babies begin picking up the rhythm and melody of their mother's voice while still in the womb. By the time they make their grand entrance, their cries actually mimic that specific "accent!"

It’s their very first step in learning how to communicate with you. How amazing is that?

We love sharing these amazing insights about your little ones! For expert care for your baby here in Hollywood and South Florida, visit us online or give us a call to schedule an appointment. 💚💙
