🌟 Picky Eater at Home? You’re Not Alone! 🌟

Many toddlers go through a normal phase of picky eating — sometimes eating only one or two preferred foods for weeks at a time. It can feel frustrating, but this behavior is very common.

The good news? Kids often need repeated exposure — sometimes 10 or more times — before they warm up to a new food. So keep offering healthy options without pressure, and model the habits you want them to learn.

For practical, pediatrician‑approved tips on reducing mealtime battles and encouraging healthier eating, check out this great article from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
👉 “10 Tips for Parents of Picky Eaters”
https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/toddler/nutrition/Pages/Picky-Eaters.aspx

Together, we can help your child build healthy habits one bite at a time. 💛🍎🥦

New, Easier Ways to Prepare for Your Child’s Appointment!

We are excited to share new ways we are working to provide the same great care in an easier, more convenient way for families. These updates allow you to complete important steps on your time, before you arrive for your child’s appointment.

By completing these steps ahead of time, you can expect:

Shorter lobby wait times
Faster check‑in at your visit
Less paperwork and fewer distractions once you arrive

You will receive a few text messages before your appointment—each one has a different purpose and helps your visit run more smoothly.

✅ STEP 1
📱 Confirm Your Appointment

(Confirmation does NOT complete check‑in)

✅ STEP 2
🖥️ Complete Online Check‑In

• Review and update demographic information
• Make a payment if there is a balance
• Easily pay your copay before your visit

No need to juggle your phone, purse, or credit card while managing your child at check‑in.

✅ STEP 3
📝 Complete Well‑Visit Questionnaires

• Must be completed prior to your appointment date
• These are NOT after‑visit surveys

💡 Completing these steps at home helps prepare our staff for your visit.

Thank you for helping us make visits easier for families!
