Episode Synopsis

Dr. Pat Clements and Dr. Brittany Maloney have some timely advice this month for you parents out there about starting the school year off right. They also answer one of the most commonly asked questions in our offices: how can I help my toddler sleep? Potty training, another popular subject, is addressed for the second time in our show's history (check back with episode 1 for the first time), but it's worth it because so many still have questions about this important milestone in a child's life. In Health News, Dr. Clements discusses an article recently published about the importance of eating together: how family meals affect nutrition in children. Finally, we have the answer to last month's medical trivia question, which was "When was the first child safety seat introducted, and who invented it?"
