Good morning!☀️ It’s Dr Vainder here! 👩 Good morning!☀️ It’s Dr Vainder here! 👩🏻‍⚕️ I’m a pediatrician and a mom who is passionate about keeping kids physically and mentally healthy. 🏃‍♂️ 🧠 🩺 This year more than ever I’m seeing kids with anxiety and depression. ♥️ This pandemic has hit all of us hard and kids are no exception! ♥️ This year while you’re shopping 🛍 for 🏫 ✏️ supplies, remember to pack their thoughts with: ⭐️ Positive Reminders ⭐️ Encouragement ⭐️ Hope ⭐️ Unconditional Love ⭐️ Strength ⭐️ Self-Love Little things like words of encouragement in the morning or texts with positive quotes go a long way. ♥️ Show them you care by spending a little extra uninterrupted time with them at bedtime. Just listening. ♥️ Be present when they talk to you. No phones!! Your presence is the best gift and costs nothing ♥️ Surprise them with their favorite dinner or treat ♥️ Pack words of encouragement in their lunch box. ♥️ Sometimes knowing someone loves us is all we need. ♥️ Wishing your kids an awesome school year! Look out for signs of anxiety like: random headaches, stomach aches, refusing to go to school, refusing to go to social events, difficulty sleeping or changes in appetite. ♥️ If you’re concerned always talk about it with your pediatrician to make sure you and your child have the support you need. We all need a little help sometimes - it doesn’t make you weak it actually makes you stronger! ♥️ Post below some ways you like to help boost your child’s self-esteem or some ways you wish someone had helped you! #confidence #strength #backtoschool #hope #mentalhealth #kids #teens #parents #pediatrician #moms #dads #anxiety #stress
Hi there! 💗 What if what we think is our bigges Hi there! 💗 What if what we think is our biggest faults turn out to be our biggest strengths in disguise. 💗 Instead of getting upset at yourself, change your perspective and see how you can learn from the “fault” and make it a strength 💗 Have a wonderful day! #drvcares #drmom #motivation #parents #parenting #moms #momsofinstagram #pediatrics #mentalhealth #yourfaults
Hi there! 🌸 Checking in on you! 💗 Have yo Hi there! 🌸 Checking in on you! 💗 Have you done something for yourself lately? What do you enjoy doing? When is the last time you did something that was just for you? I’m sharing with you a few of the things I really love to do and I’m making an effort to do one a day. Some take more time than others, but there’s always time to do something just for you...even if it’s small. How about your kids? What do they like to do? Maybe they haven’t done whatever that is in a while....writing it down is a great way to remind you of what you love to do and how easy it is to do one a day. Self care can be taught. And..when you’ve gone through all the choices you’ve written down, make some new ones and start over. You matter, you’re important and you deserve to enjoy something just for you everyday. Have a wonderful night! Double tap if you agree and share with a friend 💗 #drvcares #drmom #pediatrics #selfcare #moms #momsofinstagram #workingmoms #newmoms

Good morning! ☀️ Happy Tuesday! I hope you a Good morning! ☀️ Happy Tuesday! I hope you and your family are doing well! 💗 Today I wanted to share with you some findings from a recent study that if you have toddlers or preschool aged kids you need to know about. 👩‍💻 Over the last few years there has been an exponential increase in the use of screens for toddlers. 🧑‍💻 In the office the tablets and phones have replaced the books and toys I used to see. 🧸 While the use of tablets and computers seem to be a great way to keep your little ones happy and distracted it’s also keeping them from developing key parts of their necessary language and social skills. 👂🏻 The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screen time for kids under the age of 2. 💗 This recent study found that after reviewing over 2400 preschool aged children, the higher the number of hours of screen time showed less school readiness when it came to Kindergarten. 🏫 This was not only academically but behaviorally and socially as well. 📚 Here are some tips on how you can help your child read in those early years and decrease their screen time: ✅ Read everything you see! Cereal boxes, things at the grocery store, menus, signs, etc. ✅ Reading just 5-10 minutes a day can have a lasting effect ✅ if you do give your little ones a tablet, put a timer on for 15 min and when it goes off- it’s time to shut it down! Hours and hours will pass with your little one staring at a screen! ⏰ ⭐️ Small changes go a long way, so please don’t feel guilty about using your phone or iPad on occasion, but be careful that it doesn’t become the ONLY thing your child ever wants to do! (This is a big 🚩 red flag!)

Hello! Happy Wednesday! ☀️ I hope you’re d Hello! Happy Wednesday! ☀️ I hope you’re doing AMAZING! This week’s blog post is about creativity and boredom. 💗 The image is of a female artist, Sofonisba Anguissola who was very talented during the Renaissance period when women artists received little recognition for their work. 💗 Michaelangleo it is said recognized her talents right away and she along with the artists of that time dedicated their lives to depicting the people around them with precision. The Renaissance was a time when artists tried to capture the beauty of the world around them. 💗 I wonder sometimes if we are inhibiting our creativity or that of our children with our constant distractions. 💗 I challenge you this week to spend some time alone with your thoughts and be bored. 💗 Let your kids be bored too and let’s see what they come up with! 💗 Have a beautiful week! #creativity #kids #pediatrics #boredom #pediatrician #womenphysicians #doctor #renaissance #wellness #inspiration #motivation

Hello & Happy Friday! ☀️ Just a little reminde Hello & Happy Friday! ☀️ Just a little reminder that your words become the words they hear in their heads. 💗 I think as adults we do this too...when someone comments something about you, you think about it and start to wonder if it’s true or not.. 💗 For kids and teens it’s no different. What their peers, teachers, coaches, family and friends say about them, sometimes becomes who they think they are. 💗 So this weekend I’m challenging you to be intentional with your words. Remember that your words become the words they hear in their heads 💗 Have a wonderful weekend! #weekendmotivation #selftalk #kids #teens #parentingwithpurpose #drvainder #drvcares #drmom #parents #womenphysicians #hispanicphysicians #pediatricians #pediatrician
Good morning ! ☀️ As promised, during the mon Good morning ! ☀️ As promised, during the month of May, I will be sharing mental Heath tips for moms and kids. 💗 Last week was all about moms and today is all about kids! 💗 For those of you that don’t know me, I’m a board certified pediatrician with a passion for helping moms and kids stay physically and mentally healthy. 💗 A lot of times kids worry in silence. They hear something or see something and they begin to have anxiety about “what if”... 💗 Most of the times they don’t even talk about it or ask questions, they let their minds just wander aimlessly into the world of the unknown. 💗 This internal anxiety can present itself with trouble sleeping, stomach aches, headaches, crying episodes, tantrums, etc. 💗 So today I wanted to share some practical ways you can help your child build up their “mental health tool kit” for when they’re faced with difficult life moments 💗 Be intentional and be present 💗 Have a wonderful Friday! #drvcares #drmom #mentalhealth #kids #pediatrics #pediatrician #doctor #womenphysicians #hispanicphysicians #empowerkids #mentalhealthtoolkit

Hi there! ☀️ With summer just around the corn Hi there! ☀️ With summer just around the corner I really felt that this reminder was necessary! 💗 Did you know that drowning is the single leading cause of injury related death in kids 1-4 years old ?? 😢 The second group is teens!! Every year over 300 kids between the ages of 10-19 drown. 💔 Many of these kids are minorities. In the office when I ask kids if they know how to swim and they say no, my next question is directed at the parent, “Do YOU know how to swim?” Usually the answer is also no. 💗 Don’t let your personal fears of the water or drowning be transferred to your kids! 💗 Equip them with the skills early on before fear sets in. 💗 Consider conquering your own fears and learning to swim yourself! It’s never too late! 💗 Learning to swim with your child can be a fun and wonderful experience! 💗 You don’t want your child to grow up to be a teen that doesn’t know how to swim and is embarrassed to admit this to their friends. This might put them in a dangerous situation, which is usually how teen drownings occur. 💔 Recently a mom came in with her seven year old and waited until I asked him if he knew how to swim (I’ve been asking him since he was 3 and the answer was always no.) This year he proudly said YES, Dr Vainder, I do know how to swim. Mom said, since you kept asking, I started to really think it was important and I signed him up and he did it! I’m so proud of this mom and this makes my job soooo worth it!! 💗 With summer right around the corner, now is the time to start looking for swim lessons!! It’s a lifelong gift! 💗 (Data from the American Academy of Pediatrics) #summer2021 #pediatrics #swimming #drowning #prevention #parents #moms #dads #womenphysicians #drvcares #hispanicphysicians #pediatrician #doctor #somedocs #minorities
