Childhood grief doesn’t always look like adult grief — and that’s why it’s so often missed.

1 in 13 children in Texas will experience the loss of a parent or sibling before they turn 18 years old.

Kids feel loss in their bodies, their behavior, their routines… often long before they can put any of it into words.

Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, a changing family, or a big life transition, children need safety, honesty, and connection more than anything else. Some excellent resources with a wealth of information on childhood grief include , , . I have also had the privilege of working closely alongside as a specialist in childhood grieving with her own powerful story.

If you’re navigating a child’s grief right now, you are not alone. Please know that we are here for you and your child, should the need arise- not just on National Child Grief Awareness Day, but every day that a child is grieving.

Screens are everywhere- in our pockets, in our schools, and even helping take orders at your local restaurants. While we know that less screen time is ideal, it's also important to understand how to integrate screens appropriately into the lives of our families.

Behind every pediatrician and/or mom is a support system that keeps her going — especially during sick season.

So what if we tried something new and it didn’t go the way we hoped or planned? Whether it’s a new bedtime, feeding schedule, or parenting tactic, if what we’re trying isn’t working for us, we can always go back to what WAS. The fact that we tried something and it didn’t work isn’t a failure, it’s data. It’s another point of reference, and it gives us more information for what and when we try next, try again, or try differently.

From runny noses to rare diagnoses — a general pediatrician truly sees it all!
Every day brings something new: ear infections, asthma, eczema, ADHD, growth concerns, newborn care, and everything in between.

Whether it’s a well check, a worried call, or a late-night fever — we pediatricians are trained to handle the full range of childhood illnesses and developmental needs from birth through adolescence, and it is our privilege to have a front row seat to watch your family grow.

Thank goodness it’s Friday, am I right?

Your child wakes up with that barking cough and raspy breathing — could it be croup?

Croup is a common viral illness that causes swelling around the vocal cords, making a very scary sounding breathing noise called "stridor" and causing a "seal-bark" cough in our little ones.

Swipe through to learn about the common symptoms of croup and ways to manage it- of course, for difficulty breathing or that scary stridor noise, make sure to seek medical care!
