Best part of my work: Watching children grow through all the stages of development. Each child is unique in some way or another, with many variations and different strengths and talents.
Favorite health tip: 5:2:1:0 for weight control of school-aged children: 5: eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, 2: no more than 2 hours of total screen time daily, 1:get 1 hour of exercise 4-7 days a week and no more than one treat of food a day, 0: no wasted calories on sugared drinks (pop as well as juice).
Practice philosophy: I use a flexible, common-sense approach, shared with generous parental input, to address the health care needs of children.
