    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.

    One Fish, Two Fish, Children Need More Fish! Sep 02, 2019
    Show notes

    Seafood provides high quality protein, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats such as DHA which are important for a child’s developing brain, vision and nervous system. In addition, eating seafood early in life decreases the risk of developing allergic diseases such as asthma and eczema. So why is seafood consumption by children in the US decreasing? The main concern is contamination of seafood with mercury which can be toxic for children and harm their developing brains, but there are also concerns with environmental pollutants including PCBs and dioxin. In this episode, we review how to make sure that children are eating enough fish for nutritional benefits, and how to make healthy fish choices. We’re aiming for children to get all the benefits of seafood while minimizing any risks. We also discuss sushi, eating fish during pregnancy, overfishing and more.

    Travel With Children–With Less Stress (Part 2) Jul 22, 2019
    Show notes

    Traveling with children can be stressful, but we have some ideas to make it easier. We continue our discussion from our last episode (Part 1), and start off with how to make things easier at the airport with stroller advice or wearing your baby. Parents can also make the flight more comfortable for children, including helping them avoid ear pain that is often associated with air pressure changes during flights. Many parents worry about their baby crying uncontrollably on the plane. There are also challenges with accommodations, staying with extended family, renting a house or apartment, or hotel room–what works best for the family? We have advice on this, on how to plan activities with children, what to do when your child gets sick when out of town, and the challenges of adjusting to new foods and new time zones. Plus we’ll mention travelling by train or car. Have a great trip with your kids!
