Join Patreon for a bonus Q&A with Nina where we discuss antibiotics.

Panic is contagious, but so is calm.

In this episode, Nina is back to talk about what to do when your kid gets sick. Nina created Primary Care Parent, which I keep on hand for quick, at-home decisions.

We tackle fear first, because kids track our nervous system. Then we dig into foundations like rest and hydration before anything fancy. Screens get dialed back so sleep signals can do their job. Food stays simple, and the extra sugar that dulls immune cells gets a hard pass. And you’ll see why small, consistent moves beat complicated protocols.
