Kid Doc — Good Job Being the Mom!

Six to Eight Year-Olds

Jason Hoagland, M.D. and Emily Hoagland Gottfredson, J.D.--almost Season 1 Episode 14

We open with a discussion of a Tactical Parenting technique of making sure kids learn a good work ethic at an early age--for us it was opening a ski tuning shop.

For this age group we talk about the importance of giving children exposure to different sports, hobbies, and opportunities to gain talents.

We digest a topic that is important to me--making sure kids have access to food and water at school so they can eat and drink on a scheduled basis.

We open the door on discussions about academic performance at questions parents bring up about ADHD.

We review the Plan for helping children ages 6-8 to become independent adults.

We review the 6-8 year-old anticipatory guidance for health, screen time, internet safety, general safety, diet and exercise, and social skill development.
