When it comes to children's privacy, it's important to strike a balance between providing them with age-appropriate independence and ensuring their safety. As children enter their tween years and beyond, privacy becomes more significant for their development. However, there may be times when it's necessary to limit privacy, especially if a child is engaging in risky behaviors. It's crucial to communicate openly with your child and seek guidance from their pediatric provider if needed.

Is your little one a picky eater or something more? 🤔 Here's a simple test: Write down all the foods they will eat. If that list is under 20 items, it's time to chat with your pediatrician! They can offer guidance on nutritional needs and may suggest a dietician or feeding program. Early intervention is key to ensuring your child gets the nutrients they need.

Trichotillomania is a mental health condition characterized by a person's compulsive need to pull out hair from their scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, arms, legs, or p***c area. Repeatedly pulling hair from the same location can result in bald patches or missing eyebrows or eyelashes. Hair pulling can be automatic, where the person doesn't realize they are doing it (like when watching television), or focused, where they pull out hair to relieve tension. Hair pulling often begins in childhood, between the ages of 10 and 13. This condition affects up to 10 million Americans, according to the Massachusetts General Hospital Trichotillomania Clinic. It often appears between the ages of 10 and 13 but can also occur as early as 22 months of age. If you suspect your child or teen has this disorder, please schedule an appointment with their pediatrician. Learn more about it in our blog. https://www.rainbowpeds.net/trichotillomania/
