Doesn't every parent wish they had a pediatrician for a close friend? There's nothing like a trusted guide to provide advice during those scary middle-of-the-night moments. 

For the next best thing, join Dr. Jennifer Reid in her conversation with  Dr. Kelly Fradin, a pediatrician, mother of two, and child advocate based in New York City.  She provides guidance and support to parents everywhere through her enormously popular social media content at @adviceigivemyfriends.

When coronavirus hit, Dr. Fradin published Parenting in a Pandemic: How to help your family through COVID-19 to help inform and empower parents. Her next book, Advanced Parenting will help guide families when their children face challenges whether related to a medical diagnosis, a mental health struggle, or a developmental disability. Additionally, she is building and growing a clinical pediatric practice at the Atria institute in NYC.
