When your child is sick, your whole world can feel like it comes to a stop.


So many questions come up like,


How do I tell my child they need a shot?

How do I bond with my NICU baby?

Can I stay for my child’s vaccination?

My child needs stitches, how can I help them?


The doctor cares for your child’s physical health, but who looks out for their emotional safety?


Kids don’t need to be held down for blood draws.


Kids have a right to ask questions about their asthma, cancer, or adhd diagnosis.


Kids deserve to have their parents close by when they are learning about diabetes.


As their parent, you want to be a confident advocate for them in the doctor’s office and children’s hospital.


You deserve to be informed so that you can ask the right questions to your child’s doctor, but you are tired, worried, and overwhelmed.
