This week on MD for Moms, I’ll be interviewing Dr Jennifer Trachtenberg, known to her patients as Dr. Jen, about raising healthy, happy kids as part of the Mama Docs on Call Series. Dr. Jen is an expert in all things kid-related from birth through adolescence, and we will tap into her expertise to answer questions parents grapple with daily.
Some of the many things we will focus on include: What are possible signs of neuro-developmental delay and of autism in infants and toddlers? When should a parent seek early intervention for their child? How much screen time is appropriate for kids at various ages? Is playing with an iPad dangerous for toddlers? Is it ok to put Sesame Street on for a toddler? These topics and so many more will explored on this week’s MD for Moms.
