    Kids Considered™

    Kids Considered™ is a UC Davis Children’s Hospital podcast, featuring two pediatricians who discuss child health topics of interest to parents in plain, non-medical language. New subjects are considered in every episode, discussing issues that apply from healthy pregnancy to birth to teen years. We have different styles of practice and viewpoints, but our goals are the same: we want to optimize children’s health and development, and help parents understand current recommendations and why policies are the way they are. We aim to provide accurate and timely information in an entertaining manner to increase the confidence of parents as they address the sometimes confusing parenting issues of our day. Although our podcast is aimed mainly for parents, pediatricians and other health care providers might find our discussions of interest. And children might want to get a behind the scenes look at what their parents are listening to.

    Adverse Childhood Experiences Explained May 25, 2020
    Show notes

    Adverse childhood experiences and toxic stress are extremely common. Two out of every three people experience one or more traumatic early life event. These events have been shown to increase the risk of many medical conditions including cancer, heart disease and early death. By identifying risk early, and working to build strategies for mitigating adverse childhood experiences, we can work together to build a healthier future for our children.

We discuss major developments this week including the effects of re-opening businesses and lifting some of the social distancing measures, why there might be a severe second wave of illness in the coming Fall and Winter, recent studies that show 2-5% of the US population have already been infected and may be immune, and expected progress with vaccine development. We also respond to listener questions about the potential roll back of social distancing, gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19, the most important warning sign indicating that you should seek medical care for your child, other manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection such as involvement of the heart or brain, and how to balance potential exposure in public places like grocery stores vs leaving kids in the car when the weather is warm or hot (spoiler alert: don’t leave kids in the car!). We welcome guest pediatrician Dr. Ellen McCleery to further explore how social distancing has affected home life and parenting including challenges with screen time, relaxing limits, enhancing interactive and educational activities, knowing when it’s time for a break from screen time, and some healthy alternative activities.
