When I see a child running around with a small bruise and a scrape on her knee, usually I think to myself, “There’s a sign of a kid doing exactly what they’re supposed to—being active and getting out to play!” All children get bruises at some point. It’s an inevitable part of the process of learning how to explore the world! The body goes through a natural process of healing (and perhaps a child learns to slow down a little next time)....

As parents with 5 mouths to feed, my husband and I often debate the merits and affordability of food: local vs. organic vs. conventional vs. non-GMO. We make semi-informed decisions about what to feed our family on a daily basis, but last month’s spotlight on genetically modified foods has given us pause. Americans from Connecticut to Oregon are calling for transparency and truth in the ever-expanding GMO food industry. Public concerns about genetically modified foods link back to the early days of biotech seed introduction....

As a pediatrician taking care of many kids with special needs, I realized early on that I wanted to help parents not only with their health care needs, but also with their unique needs that extended way beyond the four walls of the hospital. Parents often asked me about activities and resources for their children. I listened to parents share their stories about a how a trip to the local recreation center could become intimidating, and how a trip to the park could end in disappointment as they realized they couldn’t use many of the typical playground toys....

This is a question that probably goes through every NICU parent’s mind. A NICU stay is never in the plans of expecting parents and often challenges parents to think about other future unknowns. As a former NICU Mom, I think a better question to ask may be “Can a premature baby grow into his or her own full potential?” With the right supports in place, the answer is, absolutely, yes!
