Children will inevitably pick up colds, bugs and various light illnesses as they move through the world. Most of the time, these are not causes for concern! However, if your child is unusually unwell or if you feel uncertain about their health, be sure to bring them to your family doctor. A trusted doctor is one of the best safety nets you can have as a parent - it prevents a lot of stress for both you and your child. If your child has a good relationship with a medical practitioner, it creates a calm and safe environment and they won’t be as afraid. Remember, a visit to the doctor can be a very scary experience for our little ones so we should do everything we can to keep the mood light and cheerful.
