This week we're talking to Dr. of Physical Therapy Mikala Simon. Mikala works with children with physical therapy needs and development delays and women after childbirth who have urinary problems and to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles. 

We discuss with Mikala what parents come to her for and any advice she has for parents who are looking to get help for kids with developmental delay. 

We talk about screen time with kids and its impact on children's development. We talk about what is a proper amount of time and what isn't, how to balance it and why to reduce screen time. 

We talk about how to help parents figure out what to do to help kids stay entertained without screens and how to help kids work on their gross and fine motor skills. 

Mikala also talks about her line of children's subscription boxes called Stages of Fun, which is inspired by her work in physical therapy but for all kids.
