To Educate, Encourage and Empower ALL parents! To Educate: I will provide practical information about common pediatric issues and give advice on how to manage them from not only a pediatrician perspective but also a MOM perspective. To Encourage: Being a parent is the hardest, most rewarding job that you will ever take on, but you must believe that “YOU CAN DO IT"! To Empower: Knowledge is Power! Sometimes we don’t feel like the best parent and get discouraged at times, but it is important to do what you can and know when to ask for help.
