In this weeks Ask Dr Jessica, Dr Hochman talks to sports medicine physician, Dr Tracy Zaslow. We review common concerns that arise with athletic children!  

 This episode offers many practical tips in this episode discussing injury and injury prevention. We talk about sports like skateboarding, football and dance, and how to best prevent injuries.   She also answers many questions that we have all wondered about with the athlete child--such as, what nutrition is best? How much sleep do kids need? Does stretching before and after sports activities matter?  Is it advisable for kids to lift weights or as Dr Zaslow refers to it, strength train?  All this and more, in part 1 of our discussion!  (Stay tuned for part 2 where we discuss specific injuries, such as sprained ankles and concussions). 

 Dr Jessica Hochman is a board certified pediatrician, mom to three children, and she is very passionate about the health and well being of children.  Most of her educational videos are targeted towards general pediatric topics and presented in an easy to understand manner.
