Dr. Pam Oatis Featured on the Pediatric Meltdown Podcast
Parents: Do you ever feel it is your fault when you fall short of your vision of the parent you want to be? Do you ever feel overwhelmed or inadequate?
Medical practitioners: Do you wish you had ways to build trust and support the parents you serve effectively and efficiently, given the little amount of time you have to see each patient?
In this interview—the 250th and final episode of Dr. Lia Gaggino’s remarkable podcast, Pediatric Meltdown, we answer some of parents’ most burning questions and provide some strategies to become the parent you, or your parent clients, want to be—even when a child is throwing a tantrum in the middle of their younger sister’s first birthday party with all the quietly judgmental family gathered round. You’ll discover:
- Strategies that any parent can use to address overwhelm and create the bandwidth for joy in parenting.
- How parents can address anxiety to feel more relaxed in their parenting.
- That your child’s struggles aren’t your personal failure and how to get at the root of your parenting problems.
- What it means to have a safe trusting human relationship with your baby’s doctor, why it matters and ideas to build it.
- Why and how to achieve the closeness and connection your child needs, whether they are a baby or young adult.
The heart of pediatric medicine thrives in the mutually respectful and caring relationships between the practitioner, parent, and child.
