Doctors’ Notes

Every Wednesday afternoon on our Kids Plus Facebook Page, we post a Kids Plus Doctor’s Note on some medical or developmental topic we think will be valuable and interesting to you.

Each Doctor’s Note is a few paragraphs long, written in a clear, straightforward style to engage and inform you. Because the Notes are designed as references for Kids Plus families, we’ve created a library of them here — grouped by topic and listed alphabetically by subject.

You can also search by author or keyword.
