Is There A Gun Where Your Child Plays?

“The irresistible temptation to ‘play’ with guns…”  That description was the opening statement on a TV trailer for Diane Sawyer’s documentary on children and guns in the home.

With the plates cleared and Thanksgiving over, I’m seeing countless containers of leftovers filling my fridge. It’s the right time to pitch this idea I’ve had to my family and hope they’re willing to consider one more of those ‘crazy pediatrician ideas’ I have. I want to help where I can eliminate food insecurity for […]

Posted on May 17, 2015July 17, 2015 Gayle Schrier SmithLeave a commentPosted in DrDownload

The DrDownload blog is about the health and well being of children. It’s spring as I write, and I could feature spring allergies or new sunscreen guidelines.  But what I’ve really been fretting about lately is my own worries over the kids and…  PROM.
