This episode is adapted from an expert interview titled “Take Charge of Your Child’s Health,” originally presented inside Bonnie Smit’s Wellness Resource Center with guest Dr. George Wooten, MD.

Summary:
Fevers aren’t the enemy—they’re often the body’s best tool. In this episode, Dr. George Wooten unpacks why high temperatures don’t cause brain damage, why lowering a fever too soon can actually prolong illness, and why parents’ instincts often matter more than a thermometer. Bonnie also shares her own experience as a special needs mom who went from monthly ER visits to steadier health at home.

Timely for back-to-school and cold/flu season, this conversation helps moms approach sick days with calm and confidence instead of fear.
