Keeping children safe starts with honest conversations and proactive steps at home. Many kids know more about where fi****ms are kept than parents realize, and curiosity can lead to tragedy in seconds. Safe storage isn’t just about following the law — it’s about creating an environment where accidents are far less likely to happen.

If your family owns fi****ms, store them securely in a locked container, keep ammunition in a separate locked location, and make sure keys or codes are never accessible to children. It’s also important to ask about firearm safety before your child visits a friend’s home, a simple question could save a life.

For more information on firearm safety and how to protect your family, visit the American Academy of Pediatrics’ resource: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at-home/Pages/Handguns-in-the-Home.aspx

A popular brand of kids’ fruit pouches sold at Walgreens and other retailers has been recalled due to potential lead contamination. While no illnesses have been reported, lead exposure is a serious concern, especially for young children.

Research on autism continues to evolve, but one thing remains clear: autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition influenced by many factors, especially genetics. While some studies explore possible links between medications like acetaminophen and autism, these do not prove cause and effect. It’s vital to treat health concerns such as fever and pain with safe, approved methods to protect both mom and baby. If you ever feel uncertain, your pediatrician is your best resource for personalized, evidence-based advice tailored to your family’s needs.

Mental health is just as important as physical health—and we check in on both at every well visit.

That’s why we include brief screening questionnaires based on your child’s age. They’re simple tools that give us a clearer picture of how your child or teen is doing emotionally, socially, and behaviorally.

These check-ins help guide conversations, offer support when needed, and ensure your child is growing in every way. If you ever have questions about the process or results, we’re here to talk!

‘Tis the season… for flu vaccines!!

Flu shot season has officially started, and our team is ready to keep your kids protected. We recommend a flu shot every year for all children ages 6 months and older.

- Saturdays (Oct 4 – Nov 8): Flu clinics 10am–2pm

Make it a family affair and get everyone protected this season, we have shots for patients and parents too! Kids need someone to look up to, and seeing you roll up your sleeve helps show them that staying healthy is important. 🩵

Every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, heard, and supported, emotionally as well as physically. Today, September 10th, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we want to remind parents and caregivers that mental health is an essential part of overall health.

Creating a safe space at home where kids can talk openly, without fear of judgment, is one of the most powerful ways to support them. You don’t need all the answers, just your presence, patience, and care.

If you ever have concerns about your child’s emotional well-being, please know: you can talk to us. We’re here to listen, support, and help guide you — and your child — through it. Early conversations save lives.
