About once a week, a parent comes into the office and asks me about a scary phenomenon: their child has been waking up at night, frightened and unable to be consoled or comforted. These are called night terrors, (also called sleep terrors or pavor nocturnus) and can be very worrisome for parents. The child seemingly awakens from sleep in a panic, sometimes screaming or crying and cannot be calmed down. The child might appear confused ...

The concept of “spring cleaning” seems to validate the idea that we only have to clean and organize once a year. Not true! It needs to be a daily maintenance, according to organization expert Mary Carlomagno, author of Secrets of Simplicity.
I talked with Mary before getting started on my own office de-cluttering. She recommends making organization and de-cluttering a daily ritual like brushing your teeth and exercising. Think about how much time you waste ...

Hi Janice!
Thank you for your question.
This is actually a very common concern for parents. The sibling of a child receiving any type of therapy (physical therapy/occupational therapy/behavioral therapy..etc) will often get jealous of the attention their brother/sister is getting. In more extreme cases, where the child is getting a bunch of different therapies and the parents are giving this child a lot of extra attention due to his learning ...

From the first moment you get your pet, you need to document what shots it has had and what it will need in the future. Make notes about your conversations with the doctor. And pay attention to your animal’s behavior and document any major changes in that behavior. Remember that your animal cannot tell you if he/she feels bad. You will need to learn the clues, such as ...

It turns out that a very small donation of human milk was coordinated through the Human Milk Banking Association (HMBANA), the International Milk Bank Project, and Quick International Courier. It was for premature, orphaned, and medically fragile infants aboard the U.S. Navy Ship Comfort, stationed off Haiti’s coast.
The Haiti earthquake has united moms who are anxious to help the children of the devastated nation. Several breastfeeding organizations issued a joint call for ...
When you’re talking to your kids about embarrassing health issues, keep these things in mind:
1. It may be far more embarrassing for you than it is for them, so try to talk in a way that communicates “this is no big deal -- nothing to be embarrassed about,” and you will be much more effective. Pretend you are simply talking to your kids about what they had for lunch at school, how their soccer ...
Why it’s good if your kid eats it: The bright color of beets tells you they are full of antioxidants and nutrition. Beets are a very good source of fiber, folate, potassium and manganese and also have a good amount of vitamin C, iron, and magnesium. I grew up not eating beets. Not because I didn’t like them, but because my mom never prepared them (she didn’t like them, so why would ...

The statistics are frightening:
*One-in-four girls aged 14-19 in the United States have at least one of the five most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), based on data analyzed by the CDC.
*one in three teen girls in the United States is estimated to get pregnant at least once before age 20
*In 2005, 15.5% of youths ages 12-17 indicated that they had been approached by someone selling drugs in the past month.
*During ...
Another award season is coming to an end this weekend at the Oscars. At all of the award shows this year, the hair and makeup have been pretty minimal. Everyone has been been keeping things neutral with safe nude lips and eyes, and really just focusing on the skin. I am hoping that the stars will step it up a notch and wow us with some amazing hair and makeup this weekend. My favorite last ...

How do you know if you are undergoing a treatment that your doctor or therapist likes, or a treatment that it is actually related to what research supports? This is an interesting question that I think one should ask themselves and their healthcare providers. Many treatments providers recommend are supported by their own experiences, not by research. Oftentimes, clinical experience is important, but it is necessary to ask the right questions when a provider is ...
TUNING INTO YOUR NEEDS –
Whether you are a full time parent or the head of a company the stress of either can zap your energy. It’s hard to give, be patient and present when your batteries are totally depleted. When you are on an airplane the first thing they tell you is, “ incase of an emergency to make sure to put your mask on first before assisting your children”. This is a great metaphor ...

An exciting New Year experiment for you: place a gold swatch and then a silver swatch next to your face. Which suits you more? If gold does, you're generally a 'warm' season. If silver is best, then you're generally a 'cool' season. What is the next step in choosing a hair color? If you look good with gold next to your skin, your haircolor will work in the warm tones -- copper reds, auburns ...

My son is super competitive. He is a great athlete but has a terrible time losing. It’s frustrating because even if he scores all of the touchdowns in football, he gets so upset if he misses one pass. He focuses on the negative and even if he plays really well, he’s crushed if his team loses. He is so hard on himself and he is only 6! We discuss the usual, “it’s ...
