Dolly Parton has given away 300+ million books through her Dolly Parton's Imagination Library — mailing free, age-appropriate books to kids birth to age five, every month.

The research is clear: early, consistent reading builds vocabulary and school readiness before kids even start kindergarten. At Senders Pediatrics, we are in awe of her accomplishments and have also long recognized the importance of a Daily Dose of Reading for every child.

As we all mourn the passing of Dolly Parton, we're reminded of her extraordinary contributions not only to the music world but to children's literacy. Thank You Dolly!

Understanding the Recent Federal Vaccine Executive Order

You may have heard about Executive Order 14420, signed August 10, 2026, which changes how childhood vaccines are recommended at the federal level. Here's what you need to know — and why Senders Pediatrics is staying the course.

What changed:
The order sidesteps the CDC's advisory committee process and establishes a new 11-vaccine baseline schedule, splitting immunizations into three categories: routine, high-risk only, and "shared decision making" (optional). It also ties federal funding to religious/medical exemption policies and directs the DOJ to challenge state vaccine requirements.

Where we stand:
Senders Pediatrics continues to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' full recommended schedule — all 18 diseases, for every child.

• Why? The science hasn't changed:
Dozens of large studies (millions of children) show no link between vaccines and autism — including a landmark Japanese study where autism rates continued rising even after MMR vaccination completely stopped.
• Splitting the MMR into 3 separate shots offers no proven safety or efficacy benefit — combined MMR already provides 95-99% protection.
• Vaccines don't "overload" the immune system. Today's infants receive far fewer vaccine proteins than kids did in 1960 (123 vs. 3,217!), while getting protection from more diseases.
• On-time vaccination is linked to added benefits: fewer respiratory infections, lower SIDS risk, and reduced antibiotic use.

The bottom line: Since 1994, routine childhood vaccines have prevented over 500 million illnesses and 1.1 million deaths in the U.S. — savings of $2.7 trillion to society.

Have questions? We're always happy to talk it through at your child's next visit — and check out our FAQs on our website: https://www.senderspediatrics.com/Vaccine-Update-and-FAQs

08/21/2026

Here's something worth losing sleep over: today's teens are sleeping way less than their parents did at the same age. In 1995, 65% of 12-13 year-olds got more than 7 hours of sleep a night. In 2023, that number dropped to just 37%. For older teens, it's even more striking — only 22% of 17-18 year-olds are getting adequate sleep today.

And it's not just kids — adults are sleeping less too, with sleep quality declining right alongside quantity.

Sleep deprivation is strongly linked to weight gain, and the science shows exactly why:
• It messes with your hunger hormones — increasing ghrelin ("feed me!") and decreasing leptin ("I'm full")
• It drives cravings specifically for sugary, salty, calorie-dense foods
• It slows metabolism, decreases insulin sensitivity, and raises cortisol
•It literally changes how your brain responds to food cues, making bigger portions more tempting

And sleep loss isn’t just about feeling tired. Research links inadequate sleep to, metabolic problems, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other health concerns. Even modest sleep restriction can contribute to weight gain and more sedentary behavior.

For kids and teens, prioritizing healthy sleep habits is especially important. Consistent sleep and wake times, morning light exposure, and limiting blue light in the evening may help improve sleep and regulate the body’s internal clock.

Is your child getting enough quality sleep? Watch for signs of sleep apnea, including frequent snoring, noisy or labored breathing, gasping during sleep, restless sleep, unusual sleeping positions, or new bedwetting. If you notice these signs, take a video and schedule an appointment with your provider.
