Columbus Pediatric Associates Our mission is to provide excellent medical care as we partner with parents in raising our future. Our goal is to promote wellness - one child at a time.

At Columbus Pediatric Associates, our mission is to provide excellent medical care as we partner with parents in raising our future. From birth to 18 years, children change so much physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially. We understand children are not “small adults.” We value the importance of preventative medicine, as well as, providing quality care when illness does occur. We appreciate the trust our families put in us, and we are privileged to be a part of their children’s lives.

Toddlers love independence, and mealtime is no exception.

Encourage self-feeding by offering small portions, toddler-safe utensils, and foods that are easy for little hands to manage.

Keep meals and snacks on a predictable schedule and offer simple choices, such as “Would you like strawberries or blueberries?”

Try to avoid pressure, bribing, or forcing “just one more bite.”

Parents decide what foods are offered, when meals happen, and where your child eats. Your toddler gets to decide whether to eat and how much. And yes, some mess is part of learning.

Not sure if your toddler is eating enough? Chat with your provider at their next visit. We would love to provide guidance.

When your child wakes up sick, Columbus Pediatric Associates is here to help you get connected with the right care.

Parents can schedule sick appointments through the patient portal, even in the middle of the night. Online scheduling can help you avoid the morning phone rush and gives our team the information we need before the office opens.

If you prefer to call, please contact us as early as possible. Same-day sick visits are scheduled based on medical urgency and appointment availability, so reaching out early gives our team more options for finding the appropriate visit time.

When scheduling, be ready to share your child’s age, symptoms, when they began, highest temperature, breathing concerns, fluid intake, and any medications already given.

Same-day availability may vary, and some symptoms may require urgent or emergency care. Our team will help guide you toward the appropriate next step.

Tetanus was once a much greater threat in the United States.

Since routine childhood vaccination began, reported cases have fallen by more than 95 percent and deaths have fallen by more than 99 percent.

Tetanus bacteria are found in soil, dust, and manure. They can enter the body through cuts or puncture wounds and release a toxin that causes painful muscle stiffness, lockjaw, difficulty swallowing, breathing problems, and sometimes death. From 2009 through 2023, the United States reported 402 cases and 37 deaths.

Tetanus does not spread from person to person, so community immunity cannot protect an unvaccinated child. If vaccination rates fell, more people would be left vulnerable to bacteria that remain present in our environment, and serious cases would likely increase.

Staying current on recommended DTaP and Tdap vaccines protects children before an unexpected injury occurs. Contact Columbus Pediatric Associates if you have questions about your child’s vaccine record or whether tetanus protection is needed after a wound.

Reading with a toddler may not look like quietly finishing an entire book. They may turn pages too quickly, point to one favorite picture, wander away, or ask to hear the same story over and over again.

All of this still supports early literacy.

Keep books within reach and make reading part of everyday routines, such as bedtime, meals, or waiting for an appointment. Let your toddler choose the book, name the pictures they point to, make animal sounds, ask simple questions, and allow them to move while they listen.

Even a few minutes at a time can help build vocabulary, attention, and a positive connection with books.

Dr. Yeiser remembers that some of her favorite books to read with her son when he was a toddler were Goodnight Moon and The Kissing Hand. Reading together every night was one of the best parts of the day.

What book does your toddler ask to read again and again? Share their favorite in the comments.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month.

Talk with your child about what bullying can look like in person and online, and remind them that asking for help is not tattling. Encourage them to walk away when possible, stay near trusted friends, and tell a trusted adult.

Parents can help by listening calmly, documenting what happened, saving screenshots of online behavior, and contacting the school when needed.

Children who witness bullying can also make a difference by including others and getting help from an adult rather than joining in or staying silent.

If bullying is affecting your child’s mood, sleep, school attendance, self-esteem, or physical health, contact their pediatric provider for additional support.

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to connect families with information, services, and community support.

Families raising a child with Down syndrome can ask their pediatric provider about early intervention, developmental therapies, school-based services, and trusted parent support organizations.

Connecting with other families can also provide encouragement, practical guidance, and a sense of community.

Everyone can offer support by learning more about Down syndrome, using respectful language, including children in school and community activities, and listening to families about what they need.

Small actions can help create a community where every child and family feels welcomed and supported.

RSV is a common respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in infants, especially during their first months of life.

Protection may come from an RSV vaccine given during pregnancy or a long-acting RSV antibody immunization given directly to the baby. Most babies do not need both.

Infant RSV immunization is not a traditional vaccine. It provides ready-made antibodies that help protect against severe RSV illness. It is recommended for many babies younger than 8 months who are born during or entering their first RSV season and were not protected through maternal vaccination. Some children ages 8 to 19 months with certain risk factors may also qualify before their second RSV season.

Eligibility depends on the child’s age, health history, maternal vaccination status, and timing within RSV season.

Ask your baby’s pediatric provider at Columbus Pediatric Associates which RSV protection option is recommended and when it should be given.
