Our children’s well-being and health are among the biggest responsibilities we take on as parents.. Yet today it has become complex to navigate the dos and don’ts of our health let alone that of our children. Today I’m speaking with Dr.Joel Warsh an integrative pediatrician on the importance of parenting at your child’s pace.
What We Talked About
- Deciphering the abundance of parenting information
- The benefits of Integrative Medicine for family health
- The rise of chronic diseases in children
- The critical role nutrition & preventive care plays in maintaining your family’s health
- The impacts social media has on parental expectations
- The benefits of homeopathic remedies and other integrative medicine practices in pediatric care
Things to Remember
“Parenting is figuring out what are the best ways to create a healthy, happy home and create healthy, happy, resilient kids.”
“The internet can make you scared about things that you don’t have to worry that much about.”
“If we aren’t mindful of what we’re doing, then our children are going to be sick and we’re going to be sick.”
“Little changes make a huge difference.”
“Just because you have one symptom does not necessarily mean that you have the scary thing. Most scary things have all the basic symptoms, but the scary things have a lot more to them.”
“If you have a prescription in the first six months to a year, that increases your risk for every disease.”
“It’s okay to be a little nervous, but don’t be overly stressed.”
― Dr. Joel Warsh
