Acerca de mí

Soy el Dr. Michael Glazier, pediatra y padre de tres hijas, lo que significa que acudo a todas las visitas con experiencia clínica y con la perspectiva de los padres. Tres cosas me atrajeron a la pediatría: la curiosidad intelectual, un profundo interés en la salud conductual y el privilegio de establecer relaciones reales con las familias a lo largo del tiempo. Los niños son resilientes, tienen una curiosidad infinita y se acercan al mundo con una franqueza que es realmente contagiosa. Esa energía es parte de lo que hace que este trabajo sea tan significativo.

‍

Cuando entre en una habitación, siempre recuerdo que el niño es el paciente. Fomentar la confianza desde una edad temprana, durante la escuela primaria y secundaria, significa que cuando surgen conversaciones más difíciles, los niños se sienten cómodos al tenerlas.

Dos cosas a las que vuelvo con frecuencia con las familias: la nutrición y el tiempo frente a la pantalla. La comida de verdad siempre es mejor que un suplemento y, en lo que respecta a la tecnología, mi consejo es simple: retrasa el proceso, sal a la calle y deja que los niños se aburran de vez en cuando. A menudo, ahí es donde se piensa mejor.

Mi consejo para los padres

La comida de verdad, el aire fresco y un poco de aburrimiento ayudan mucho, y nunca dudes en hacer preguntas, por pequeñas que sean.

Lo que espero que digas después de tu cita

«Me escuchó de verdad, y tengo confianza en lo que voy a hacer a continuación».
