Did you know many teens stop going to the doctor after high school? 🤔

It’s more common than many families expect. And it often happens during years that still really matters for long-term health.

“Older children tend to voice that they no longer feel comfortable seeing the pediatrician (even if you still think the alligator room is super cute), between ages 16 and 21,” Dr. Fox shared with Parents.

Many young adults step away from care because:

🧾 Insurance feels confusing
📅 Scheduling appointments is new to them
🚗 Transportation can be a barrier
🔒 Privacy questions come up

Even when they feel healthy, routine visits still support:

🧠 Mental health check-ins
🩺 Preventive screenings
🌱 Sexual health guidance
🤝 Substance use support

These visits help build lifelong health habits, one step at a time.

Starting small conversations now can help your teen feel more confident managing their care later.

Is your teen eating the same meal every single day? 🍽️💭

You might have heard of “boy kibble,” a viral trend where teens eat simple meals like rice and meat on repeat. It may seem easy and even “healthy,” especially for teens focused on fitness.

But growing bodies need more than just protein. They need variety and nutrients that support digestion and development 🥦🍓

Dr. Madison Szar, one of our very own pediatricians at Bluebird Kids Health, points out something many parents notice too. These meals often lack color, which can mean missing important nutrients.

If this sounds like it could be your house, don’t start with shame. Instead, start with curiosity. Ask what their goals are. Keep the conversation open and supportive. 💙

📩 Have questions about your teen’s nutrition? Talk to your pediatrician. We’re here to help you sort through it.

Bedtime feeling harder than usual? We hear this from so many parents this time of year.

Later nights, travel, movie marathons… it all adds up.

The good news? Kids’ body clocks are pretty flexible. With a few small steps and some consistency, sleep can get back on track in just a few days.

Try this simple reset:

☀️ Get morning sunlight to help reset the body clock
⏰ Move bedtime earlier by about 15 to 20 minutes each night
📚 Bring back a calm bedtime routine like bath, book, bed

Most kids adjust within a few days once routines return.

Every child is different, and sleep challenges are a normal part of growing up. If bedtime has been feeling extra tough lately, we're here to help.

Save this so you have a simple plan when sleep feels off again. And if you want extra support, give us a call. 💙

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the women at Bluebird Kids Health who care for your children 💙

From the exam room to the front desk, they shape how care is delivered every day.

Some grew up here and chose to come back to serve this community. Some were once patients themselves and now care for the next generation of families.

Many of the women on our team are parents, too. They know what it feels like to have questions, to worry, and to want the very best for your child.

👂 They take the time to listen
🌱 They stay with you through each stage
👶 They care for your child as a whole person

Because of them, more families have access to care they can rely on.

Parents ask Dr. Chibar if she prefers babies or teenagers. Her answer? 👇

BOTH!

She cares for kids through every stage and values getting to know them over time. Not just one visit, but years of growth, change, and milestones.

What stays with her most is the trust families place in her. When a child grows up and comes back with their own kids, it means everything.

That is the kind of care we strive to provide at Bluebird Kids Health.

Consistent, personal, and built to last. 💪

If you are looking for a pediatrician who will really know your child, Dr. Chibar would love to meet your family.

📍 Dr. Chibar is now seeing families at our West Palm Beach and Loxahatchee Groves offices.
