Screen time is one of those parenting topics where I think we could all use a little more guidance. 🤯

As a pediatric NP and mom, my philosophy is pretty simple: be intentional about what your kids watch, how they watch it, and how it affects them.

I favor shared TV time over personal devices, age-appropriate content over endless scrolling or unrestricted access, and clear boundaries with consistent follow-through over expecting young kids to regulate themselves. I also think earning recreational screen time is a reasonable approach. 🤷‍♀️

And if your child consistently melts down when screens turn off, struggles to play without them, or has sleep and behavior changes? It may be time to reassess. You’re allowed to set stricter limits, even if other families do things differently.

The goal isn’t necessarily a screen-free childhood.
It’s making sure screens don’t crowd out sleep, outdoor play, creativity, connection, and the everyday experiences kids need to grow.

Cold and flu season is here. 🍂

And while we can’t control every exposure our kids encounter, we can be intentional about supporting their overall health as the seasons change.

Here’s what I’m focusing on in our house:

☀️ Getting outside and enjoying natural sunlight when we can—even when it’s chilly.

🥑 Prioritizing nutrient-dense foods while leaving room for the occasional holiday treat.

💤 Protecting sleep and allowing time for rest.

🏃‍♀️ Making fresh air and movement part of our routine instead of spending every day cooped up indoors.

🗓️ Keeping life balanced. Being intentional and avoiding overscheduling, taking more time to slow down and reconnect.

💊 Thoughtful supplementation can be a helpful part of supporting immune health, but it works best alongside the basics, not instead of them.

I offer immune support bundles through my Fullscript dispensary, and I can provide age- and weight-based dosing guidance and specific product recommendations during a virtual visit if you need help figuring out what’s appropriate for your child.

And if your little one is already feeling under the weather? You don’t have to figure it all out alone. 🤒

Sick season is coming 🤧
Here’s what I like to keep on hand at home as both a mom and a holistic pediatric nurse practitioner.

From saline and nasal suction to fever/pain relief, hydration support, and a few of our favorite immune supports and wellness products, these are the things I reach for when managing little ones who aren’t feeling their best.

A few reminders:
✨ More supplements aren’t always better—age, dose, and individual needs matter.
✨ Use children’s medications according to weight, age, and product directions.
✨ Home care has its limits. Trouble breathing, dehydration, unusual sleepiness, or a baby under 3 months with a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher warrants prompt medical guidance.

🍂 Let’s talk about the fragrances in our homes. 🤎

I’ve been buying from Fontana Candle Co. and Scent Fill for YEARS, and these are two of my favorite brands for making our home smell amazing while being more intentional about the products we use.

🌿 Why does this matter to me?

Many conventional fragranced products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air. Certain fragrance ingredients have also raised concerns about hormone disruption, and some VOCs are known carcinogens. Fragrances can trigger headaches, respiratory irritation, or asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals.

With kids, I think reducing unnecessary exposures where we can is a worthwhile step. It’s not about fear or perfection—it’s about making more informed choices for our homes. 🤍

These are two brands I genuinely love and have purchased from for years:

🕯️ Fontana Candle Co. — Naturally scented beeswax candles made with beeswax, coconut oil, and essential oils, without synthetic fragrance. Their fall scents are SO good!🍁
Shop with my code RJAYROE for 15% OFF.

🌿 ScentFill — Plant-based 100% natural fragrance refills for plug-in warmers, made without parabens or phthalates. I love having seasonal scents throughout our home, and their return/exchange policy is a nice bonus if you try a scent that isn’t your favorite. I rotate through various scents by season!

Shop through my link:
https://scentfill.com/?referral_code=kJlrn8HnPP2z6XR

Both make lovely additions to your own low-tox home routine and thoughtful holiday gifts for anyone who loves a cozy, beautiful-smelling space. 🎁

Watching her sleep like this reminds me why we started this journey in the first place. 🥹

As both a mom and a pediatric nurse practitioner, I knew Amelia’s mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, nasal-sounding speech, deep bite, and gummy smile might all be connected. After learning more about pediatric airway health, we decided to move forward with a comprehensive evaluation.

Now, 6 months into treatment, we’re encouraged by the progress we’ve seen. Her snoring has improved, she’s sleeping more quietly, and we’re seeing positive changes in her oral development.

One thing I appreciate about the Toothpillow | Your Virtual Airway Dentists program is that it isn’t just an oral appliance. Treatment is individualized and includes guidance from airway-trained dental professionals, myofunctional exercises, progress tracking, and ongoing support through the app.

As a pediatric provider, one of my biggest takeaways has been this:

Mouth breathing IS NOT NORMAL.
It’s often a clue that a child’s airway and oral development deserve a closer look.

If your child has any of these signs, you may want to consider a FREE Toothpillow evaluation:
• Mouth breathing
• Snoring or noisy sleep
• Sleeping with their mouth open
• Crowded teeth or a narrow palate
• Chronic congestion
• Speech concerns
• Restless sleep
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Difficulty focusing or behavioral concerns

🎁 In addition to the free evaluation, you can use my code RJAYROE to receive a complimentary video consultation with a trained Airway Dentist (a $50 value) and $300 off treatment if recommended.

⬇️ Comment AIRWAY and I’ll send you the link to the free assessment.

So your child says, “My ear hurts.”👂

It’s one of the most common reasons parents seek care—and it’s also one of the easiest symptoms to misdiagnose without actually looking inside the ear.

Ear pain can be caused by:
🔴 A middle ear infection (otitis media)
🔵 An outer ear infection/“Swimmer’s Ear (otitis externa)
🟡 Ear wax buildup

Each one looks different.
Each one is treated differently.

That’s why an ear exam matters.

Sometimes oral antibiotics are the right treatment.
Sometimes antibiotic ear drops are.
Sometimes no antibiotics are needed at all.

The goal isn’t just to treat ear pain—it’s to treat the right problem.

Need a digital otoscope camera? My favorite family-friendly options are linked in my Amazon Storefront.

If your child develops ear pain, I offer:
🏡 Same-day in-home visits in Collierville, Germantown, and throughout the Memphis area when possible.
💻 Virtual pediatric visits across Tennessee and Mississippi.
