• About Me:

  As a parent, you know there isn’t one right answer when it comes to kids. That’s why I consider your viewpoint when I make recommendations about your child’s health. I think of it as the art of medicine — helping your family have a say in the plan.

  My husband and I aim to instill in our two daughters a love of activity, the outdoors and delicious, home-prepared meals. That’s my goal as your child’s pediatrician, too. Like a teacher or friend, I offer my advice to help your kids become healthy adults.

      If you’re a Midwesterner, you know all about winter. While starting out exciting and beautiful, it can get “old” as the snowy season continues into March and April.

    • How Do I Get My Kids to Eat Healthy This Summer

      During summer vacation or any time that the regular daily routine is disrupted, it is not uncommon for healthy eating habits to go out the window. I think the best way to keep the healthy habits up (or start them if you are looking to make a change for your family) is to have a game plan.

    • Make Sleep a Priority for Children

      The 2003 National Survey of Children’s Health showed that 15 million US children and teens get inadequate sleep. I would have to think that in our current climate of constant electronic use & more demanding year round sports and activity schedules, that that number has risen. Encouraging sleep is one of the most important things that we as parents can do.

    • Most Important Daily Decision a Parent Makes for Their Kids

      When you think of all the decisions you make for your child every day--buckling them into a cars eat, applying sunscreen, making sure they are well-rested, etc. There is nothing, in my opinion, more important than the food you choose to prepare for them.

    • Sleep Vital for Kids

      Encouraging sleep is one of the most important things that we as parents can do. The American Academy of Pediatrics has even gone so far as to call on school systems to start later to help middle-school and high-school students sleep longer. Studies have shown that kids who are sleep deprived can have difficulty focusing during the day, mood and behavioral issues and be prone to overeat throughout the day.

    • When are my Kids Old Enough to Help Mow the Lawn?

      Teaching kids to help out in and outside the home is an important life lesson, but we as parents need to keep the expectations and activities safe and age-appropriate.
