Several years ago a group of us pediatricians put together some bookshelves including the books we have actually read and recommended for kiddos who have ADHD—or who are learning a little more about how their brains work.

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) can look very different from one child to another. It may present as predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive/impulsive, or a combination of both.

We included picture books for younger kiddos and books for middle schoolers and teens—some that explain ADHD and others that simply let kids see a brain like theirs reflected in a story. ❤️

This sleep tip seems almost too simple — but it can make such a difference.

Try not to let bedtime become something that only Mom does, or only Dad does. Let the grown-ups who regularly care for your child take turns with the different parts of the routine — bath, pajamas, brushing teeth, books, cuddles and lights out.

That way, your child learns that the routine means bedtime, not that bedtime can only happen with one particular person.

Then when Mom is working late, Dad is out of town, Grandma is babysitting, or life simply happens, bedtime feels familiar instead of completely different.

One of those little things that can save everyone a lot of grief later. 💛

Thanks, Craig Canapari M.D., for this gem from It’s Never Too Late to Sleep Train.

Be ever so watchful when children are around dogs—even dogs they know and love.

What looks like a sweet moment to us may feel very different to the dog. Teach children to give dogs space, watch for signs that a dog is uncomfortable, and always supervise young children and dogs together.

Knowing the dog well doesn’t eliminate the risk. ❤️🐾

Are you familiar with the viral “kinda chic” trend?

The problem with being a Boomer is that I’m never entirely sure whether I’m using these things correctly. 😂 But I think I’ve got this one… so here is my little collection of pediatrician humble brags.

Add your own “kinda chic” in the comments so I’ll know whether I actually understand the assignment.

After all, it’s important to stay current when your job requires you to keep up with all these VIPs. ❤️

Apparently my knitting basket has been keeping statistics. 😂👑

These are the summer newborns whose parents gave me permission to share their pictures.

First came 8 boys in a row. Then came 5 girls in a row.

If we pretend boy/girl is a simple 50/50 coin toss, the chance of 8 boys in a row is about 1 in 256. The chance of 5 girls in a row is about 1 in 32. And the chance of that exact sequence — 8 boys followed by 5 girls — is about 1 in 8,192.

The fun part is that randomness is often much streakier than we expect. Eight boys didn’t mean a girl was “due,” and five girls certainly don’t mean a boy is next. Each new baby is a brand-new little statistical event.

Which is why, no matter what the recent streak has been, I still keep at least one boy crown and one girl crown ready to go for whoever comes through our doors next. 😂

I remember the babies, of course. But once I put those HIPAA-compliant sunglasses on them, even I have to study the pictures to figure out who is who.

The knitting, however, keeps excellent statistics.

Screenshot Saturday
Throughout the week I save things that make me think, smile, learn, laugh, or become a better pediatrician.

Take what you need, skip what you don’t, and feel free to share anything that might help another family. And thank the original posters.

Which screenshot did you find most useful this week?

I’ve been handing out these little blue “Take Home Reminders” for as long as I can remember.

They were meant to give parents something to tuck into the baby book—a record of height and weight, vaccines, Tylenol doses, and when to come back and see me.

Once, we ran out of blue paper and tried printing them on pink and yellow. It just looked wrong. After a few days, I went shopping for blue paper. 😂

Some parents have saved every single one. I’ve even had parents send me pictures of old blue sheets, comparing big brother’s height and weight at a certain age with little brother’s.

Others call a week later asking, “What was the Tylenol dose again? Who knows where the blue sheet is?” But everybody seems to know exactly what I mean when I say the blue sheet.

A few days ago, a mom whose children I cared for decades ago told me that these are one of the things she remembers most.

Now we have MyChart, where families can find all sorts of information electronically. And yet, somehow, it still doesn’t feel right to send a child home from a well check without that little piece of blue paper.

So I still hand them out.

Even to my 18-year-olds.

Because surely their baby books aren’t finished quite yet. 💙

Throwback Thursday!
This is one of my daughter’s kindergarten school supply lists from Winnsboro Elementary for the 1998–99 school year. I imagine many of you had a list that looked a lot like it. 😊

Compare it with a more recent year’s kindergarten list—school supplies have certainly changed!

And then take a look at the third list I stumbled upon. It may be the most important school supply list of all. ❤️

Those supplies don’t come from the store. They come from home.

Getting ready for school checklist #3:
A few little skills can make a school day much easier. 🎒

Before school starts, let your child practice opening their lunch box and drink container, packing and unpacking their backpack, managing their clothes in the bathroom, and fastening their own shoes.

And don’t forget the “people skills” too — raising a hand, asking for help, and using those trusty please and thank you’s.

A little practice at home can build a lot of confidence at school. ❤️
