Dr. Marcia A Augustine MD's Expert Contributions
How can I motivate my daughter to lose weight?
The best way to motivate a teenage girl to lose weight is to find activities that she may enjoy that allow her to have fun while being active. Teenagers are generally motivated to do things that interest them, kids in general. Therefore, providing her with various options, such as dancing, swimming, or bike riding, rather than just the typical treadmill routine. Also, providing a pediatric friendly and safe app that she can use to log her meals and physical activity may be helpful. Teenagers are very attached to electronic devices. Therefore, allowing her to use her smart phone to help in her weight loss journey can also be helpful. Sincerely, Marcia Augustine, MD, FAAP, CLC READ MORE
Is childhood asthma curable?
Some children will "outgrow" their asthma symptoms; however, it is important for parents to realize that asthma is a very serious, and possibly life-threatening disease that should not be taken lightly. Parent education regarding signs/symptoms of an asthma flare and steps of management are very important. With proper treatment and compliance, children with asthma can lead very productive, active lives. Sincerely, Marcia Augustine, MD, FAAP, CLC READ MORE
