Williams-Willingham, InTouch Pediatrics was created to feel like an extension of your family. We deliver exceptional pediatric care with compassion, attentiveness, and a personal touch that respects the individuality of every child. Because here, your child isn’t just another patient—they’re our priority, our purpose, and our joy.

🩵 Pouch of Positivity 🩵

What’s in your kid’s pouch today?
What’s in yours?

We fill lunchboxes, backpacks, and snack bags every day — but how often do we fill their hearts?

✨ Slip in a few invisible words:

💚 You are brave.
💚 You are kind.
💚 You are loved.
💚 You can try again.
You matter.

Kids carry those messages long after the snacks are gone.
And parents — don’t forget to refill your pouch too.
Because grown-ups need reminders like:

🌟 I’m doing my best.
🌟 God’s got this.
🌟I can find joy, even in the chaos.
🌟 My patience is growing (slowly, but it’s growing 😅).

Our words have power — to heal, to lift, to restore hope.
Let’s pack positivity with the peanut butter today. 🥪💖

Some days our kids feel like superheroes. Other days… like the cape’s in the laundry. 🦸‍♀️🧦

At InTouch Pediatrics, we remind families that every feeling has a purpose.
Joy, frustration, excitement, or “meh” — it’s all part of learning emotional resilience. 💪

👉 Parents, this one’s for you too.
Your kids are watching how you handle your feelings — the deep breaths, the prayers, the “I survived today” moments. That’s how they learn to bounce back.

So tell us below 👇

💪 “I Survived Today.”

Some days, that’s the biggest win of all.

Between tests, meltdowns, and “Mom, I can’t find my shoes”—getting through the day counts as real resilience.

At InTouch Pediatrics, we remind our families that resilience isn’t about never struggling. It’s about bouncing back, showing up, and trying again tomorrow. 💫

For kids, that looks like learning to breathe through frustration, try a new skill, or face a tough day at school.
For parents, it’s giving yourself grace when the to-do list wins again.

And faith? That’s the quiet voice reminding us,

“You did it. You’re still standing. And you’re not alone.” 🙏

Here’s to the little victories, the messy moments, and the beautiful bounce-back that happens when we choose hope over hurry. 💖

🚨 Parents, Did You Know?

Indoor mold can flare up asthma symptoms in kids — especially during humid months.

Mold spores irritate the airways and can cause coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath.

🧼 Keep your home mold-free by:

Fixing leaks fast 💧

Using dehumidifiers

Cleaning damp areas regularly

Breathe easy — small changes make a big difference for kids with asthma. 💙

Cooler weather, fall allergies, and viral season can trigger more asthma flares in kids.
Now’s the time to:

✅ Check your child’s inhaler or nebulizer supplies
✅ Refill prescriptions
✅ Review your child’s asthma action plan

We’re here to help your child breathe easier this season — call to schedule a check-up or medication review today. 💨

🌿 Coming Soon: Integrative Pediatrics at InTouch Pediatrics (2026!)

We’re expanding care in a big way — because your child deserves a whole-body approach to wellness. 💚

✨ What is Integrative Pediatrics?
It’s the best of modern medicine + functional, holistic care.
Think of it as pediatric care that doesn’t just treat symptoms — it searches for the why.

💡 We’ll look deeper into how your child’s gut, brain, immune system, and hormones all connect. From ADHD and anxiety to frequent stomach aches and sleep issues — we’ll uncover what’s really driving your child’s health concerns.

🏥 Why It Matters:
Integrative care gives families tools that go beyond prescriptions — using nutrition, lifestyle, labs, and natural therapies that help your child thrive instead of just “get by.”

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why Ask About It Now:
As we prepare to launch our Integrative Services in 2026, your provider can help you get a head start:
✅ Track patterns that might point to gut or immune imbalances
✅ Discuss functional labs
✅ Explore gentle nutrition changes that support focus, mood, and energy

Because wellness starts before symptoms — and prevention is powerful. 🌱

🌸 ADHD in Girls: Why It’s Missed

ADHD doesn’t always look the same in girls.
Instead of being “hyper” or disruptive, many girls show signs like:

✨ Daydreaming & zoning out
📚 Struggling to stay organized
😔 Quiet anxiety or perfectionism
💢 Emotional ups & downs

Because of this, ADHD in girls is often overlooked or diagnosed later. Early recognition means earlier support—and that can make all the difference. 💙

📞 Call InTouch Pediatrics if you have questions or want to discuss your child’s ADHD symptoms. We’re here to help.

🌿 ADHD & Supplements

Can supplements help with ADHD symptoms? Research shows some may support brain health:

→ Omega-3s (fish oil): linked to better focus and mood 🧠
→ Iron & Zinc: often low in kids with ADHD, may affect attention 🩸
→ Magnesium: supports calm and better sleep 🌙
→ Vitamin D3 + K2: important for brain and immune health ☀️

⚠️ Supplements aren’t a cure and don’t replace medical care—but in the right cases, they may be part of a bigger ADHD plan. Always check with your child’s provider before starting anything new.

Does your child go from 0 to 100 in seconds when things don’t go their way? 🚀 Big emotions can feel overwhelming—for them and for you. But emotional regulation is a skill they can learn with the right tools.

🧠 Why Do Kids Struggle with Big Feelings?
Children’s brains are still developing, especially the part that controls impulse and emotions (hello, prefrontal cortex!). That means meltdowns, frustration, and outbursts are normal—but with guidance, they can learn how to self-soothe.

💡 Research-Backed Tools to Help Kids Manage Big Emotions:
✅ Name It to Tame It – Help them label their emotions (“I see you’re feeling really frustrated”)
✅ Calm Down Corner – A quiet space with books, stress balls, or sensory items
✅ The Balloon Trick 🎈 – Teach deep breathing by having them “blow up a balloon” with slow, deep breaths
✅ Movement Breaks – Running, jumping jacks, or stretching to release built-up energy
✅ The 5-4-3-2-1 Method – Engage their senses: “Tell me 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear…”
✅ Model Emotional Regulation – Show them your calm strategies when you’re frustrated

🌟 Remember: Your child isn’t being “dramatic” or “difficult”—they’re learning how to process emotions. And with your support, they’ll get there. ❤️

Ever wonder why your child is perfectly fine at school but comes home and melts down over the smallest thing? It’s not just drama—it’s called "emotional masking."
🧠 What’s Happening?

Some kids suppress their struggles all day—following rules, managing social interactions, and holding in their emotions—only to explode in a safe space (home). This isn’t misbehavior; it’s emotional exhaustion.

💡 Signs Your Child is Emotionally Masking:
✔️ Teachers say they’re “great” at school, but they fall apart at home 😩
✔️ Frequent after-school meltdowns over small things
✔️ Unexplained mood swings, irritability, or exhaustion
✔️ Complaints of headaches or stomachaches from built-up stress
✔️ Refusal to talk about their day (because it's too overwhelming)

💙 How to Support Your Child:
✅ Create a calm after-school routine (snack, quiet time, no pressure)
✅ Let them decompress—avoid bombarding with questions
✅ Validate their feelings (“It’s okay to feel overwhelmed”)
✅ Teach emotional regulation tools (deep breathing, journaling, movement)
✅ Keep communication open—help them express feelings in their own time
They’re not being difficult—they’re just releasing what they held in all day. Home is their safe place, and that’s a good thing. ❤️

😲 Rude or Anxious? Understanding Social Anxiety in Kids

Ever had your child refuse to say hello, avoid eye contact, or freeze up in social settings? It may seem like defiance or rudeness, but in many cases, it’s actually social anxiety at work.

🧠 Signs of Social Anxiety That Can Be Misread:
🚫 Refusing to speak in new situations (seen as "being rude")
🙈 Avoiding eye contact or hiding behind a parent (seen as "being shy")
😨 Meltdowns before social events (seen as "being difficult")
😶 Speaking in a whisper or not at all (seen as "ignoring adults")
🏃‍♂️ Bolting from social interactions (seen as "bad behavior")

💡 How to Support a Child with Social Anxiety:
✔️ Give them time to warm up in new situations
✔️ Teach calming techniques (deep breathing, grounding exercises)
✔️ Use gentle exposure instead of forced interactions
✔️ Praise effort, not outcome (“I saw you say hi—that was brave!”)
✔️ Model confidence in social settings

Kids aren’t being difficult on purpose—they’re processing the world in their own way. A little understanding goes a long way! ❤️
