When we question so much of what surrounds us, and we struggle to find the answers, it is so important to remember that history has so much to share.
Whether it be reflecting on our own childhood, the circumstances that brought about the many wars that occurred, public health strategies developed to address morbidity and mortality from illness, or the advancement we see on the medical front to save the lives of our littlest ones, it is history that will always be truthful.
As a pediatrician, I see confused and fearful parents on a daily basis.
Although I know that I will never have all of the answers to provide comfort, I know that peace for all of us starts with communication.
Pediatricians love children.
Your children mean the world to all of us.
Many of us have been training and practicing for several years. Many of us have lived through the history that has taught us so very much.
Please ask us the hard questions.
Ask us what we choose for our own children.
Ask us how we can best support you as you make decisions for your own children.
Ask us about resources that we find most helpful.
We see trends in the pediatric population that many don’t have the opportunity to witness simply because we see children every single day.
We see your children, and your neighbors children.
When your pediatrician asks you if you have any questions, don’t let that opportunity pass you by.
We know every parent has questions, particularly right now.
Please, please have the needed conversations with your pediatrician.
We need them as much as you💕
