Do you know what preparing for a ski vacation and getting your children off to school during the freezing winter months have in common? More than you may think! Not only are the elements the same – ice/snow/wind/cold, but the dangers and the precautions needed are really the same. Yet our expectations for how we dress our children are somehow very different. If your family is anything like mine, they look far from artic warriors when they head off to school but could be mistaken for Eskimos on the slopes.

Happy Holidays!
I hope you have some wonderful plans in store for the next 10 days or so that involves yummy food, family time and time away from your computers.
When we all regroup in January for the New Year, you’ll find some exciting changes here on Dr. Gwenn Is In blog and on Pediatrics Now. Pediatrics Now is about to celebrate it’s 4 year online so it seemed fitting to celebrate the amazing ride we’ve had so far with a new website and blog that can take us in new and exciting directions.

If there are two pearls of wisdom I can impart to you about toddlers it is this: they will have many boo-boos and there will be times you will be convinced your toddler is “always sick” and you should change your address to that of your pediatrician’s office.

Safety proofing. One of those necessary evils of parenting we love and hate all at once. We love the fact that we are protecting out infants and very young children, yet if only it were easier to accomplish at times…and if our tots had a bit less Houdini in them.

Does your teen or tween every travel alone? “Of course not,” you say. What about school trips in middle school or high school? What about overnight camp and day trips or overnights they may take?

With the upcoming school holiday break days away, let’s be realistic: TV sets are about to get a bit more use than usual. In fact, many will go into hyper drive as kids of all ages are home more and parents become distracted with holiday preparations and school week plans.

Attending conferences and events, I’m always amazed by the new parenting devices and gadgets that appear on the market. What’s timeless, however, are the questions parents have about the health of their young families.
