As medical and surgical treatment of congenital heart lesions improve, the vast majority of babies born with heart problems are living long and productive lives. While it is remarkable, it also brings new challenges for their care, especially during the critical transition to adulthood. A new medical specialty has developed to address this specific need, driven by the growing demand for expertise in the lifelong care of patients with congenital heart lesions. To unpack this topic, we are joined by Roni Jacobsen, MD. She is the Medical Director of our Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program at Children's Hospital Colorado. We have one of the largest programs in the country with exceptional outcomes, treating patients with congenital heart problems that continue into adulthood. Dr. Jacobsen specializes in internal medicine as well as pediatrics and is trained in pediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease. She is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include:  Defining adult congenital heart disease and understanding its differences from other heart diseases  Why so many patients don't understand their disease  Understanding the advancements in treatments  The role that pediatricians play in steering families towards continued care and proper transition once that child hits adulthood  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

El contar con una patología colorrectal es un desafío tanto para los pacientes pediátricos como para las familias. Si a esto le aunamos la dificultad al acceso de los servicios de salud en ciertas comunidades o grupos de la población, el desafío es aún mayor y por así decirlo, es monumental. Los problemas con el control intestinal pueden provocar dificultades en casa, la escuela, los amigos y la salud mental de los pacientes. Muchos niños pueden ser más activos y sociables si cuentan con los tratamientos y servicios médicos adecuados. En este episodio invitamos al Dr. Édgar Alzate Gallego, quien nos comparte su experiencia en la atención de niños con patología colorrectal que tienen difícil acceso a los servicios de salud. El Dr. Édgar Alzate Gallego es cirujano pediatra de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, actualmente se desempeña como Jefe del servicio de cirugía pediátrica de la Fundación Valle del Lili en la ciudad de Cali, en Colombia. Su formación en cirugía de mínima invasión y cirugía colorrectal pediátrica lo ha llevado al proyecto de estructurar la clínica de cirugía colorrectal en su institución y a participar en la creación de una fundación para el tratamiento de los pacientes con pobre acceso para el tratamiento de esta patología. Es por ello que ha participado con el equipo de cirugía colorrectal pediátrica del Instituto Internacional de Cirugía Colorrectal y Urogenital del Children's Hospital Colorado.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Hayley Crane about supporting autistic and ADHD learners in ways that are truly affirming and compassionate. We dive into how visual supports and predictable routines can reduce anxiety, ease transitions, and help kids feel more confident and secure throughout their day. We also explore what to do when power struggles pop up, how to better understand the emotional fatigue that can follow a long day of navigating demands, and the importance of flexibility and connection in our interactions. Hayley and I talk about why it's helpful to reduce verbal demands—like asking fewer questions and making more observations—and how honoring each child's deep interests can boost engagement and build trust. This conversation is packed with real-world strategies for educators and parents, along with gentle reminders to care for yourself as you care for your students or children. It's all about creating supportive, responsive environments where autistic kids can thrive. Bio:  Dr. Hayley Crain is a clinical psychologist, adjunct professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and mom of two. She blends personal lived experience with clinical expertise to support neurodivergent kids and their families through inclusive, practical strategies. Dr. Crain holds a doctorate from The Chicago School and a master's from Columbia University. She's worked with top institutions across the U.S., including the CDC's SEED study, the May Institute, Children's Hospital Colorado, and the Waisman Center. Now back in her hometown, she runs Haven Psychology, offering neuroaffirming therapy, coaching, and assessments—always with empathy, real-life tools, and a touch of humor, informed by her own experiences with ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety. Links:  Dr. Hayley Crain's website:  https://www.drhayleycrain.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/drhayleycrain/ Takeaways Power struggles can be minimized by picking battles wisely. Flexibility is crucial in supporting neurodivergent children. Understanding behavior as communication is key to effective support. Using interests can enhance engagement and learning. Transitions can be challenging for neurodivergent children. Visual supports can aid in understanding routines and transitions. Acknowledging a child's protest is important for their communication. Creating a supportive environment can reduce anxiety during transitions. Visual supports can be crucial for helping children transition smoothly. Predictable routines can create a sense of security for kids. An All Done Bucket is a valuable tool for ending activities. Repetition and visual cues are essential for memory retention in children. After school restraint collapse is a common experience for neurodivergent children. Teaching executive functioning skills can start at a young age. Connecting with children can be done without asking questions. Less talking can lead to better engagement with children.    You may also be interested in these supports: Visual Support Starter Set  Visual Supports Facebook Group Autism Little Learners on Instagram Autism Little Learners on Facebook

One of humanity's frailties is our tendency to view the world through the lens of what we've seen, lived through or experienced firsthand. That's not to say we ignore things that happened in the past, but we may not give historical events equal weight or importance when compared to current events. In medicine, it's important for us to recognize the vaccine preventable diseases we combatted in the past and apply those lessons to the future. In this episode, we reflect on the improvements and discuss how vaccine technology has improved global child heath over the last century. Many current doctors have never treated some of these diseases firsthand but our three experts for this episode have. Drs.

Every year, thousands of people are added to organ transplant waiting lists, but not all patients have equal access to the life-saving procedures they desperately need. As transplant programs around the world continue to expand and improve, it's important for healthcare providers to consider potential disparities in care, all while working hard to create an even playing field for patients. Socioeconomic status, geography, wait times and access are just a few of the factors to keep in mind. Children's Hospital Colorado is one of the top transplant programs for kids, with some of the best outcomes in the nation. In this episode, we welcome specialists from our heart, kidney and liver transplant programs. Pediatric cardiologist Melanie Everitt, MD, is the Director of Pediatric Heart Transplant. Margret Bock, MD, is the Medical Director of Kidney Transplant and specializes in pediatric nephrology. Amy Feldman, MD, is the Program Director of the Liver Transplant Fellowship, the Medical Director for the Liver Transplant Center, and she specializes in pediatric gastroenterology. All three of our experts also teach at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include:  The current landscape of solid organ transplant in the United States and how the waitlists work  Why some children have better access to these life-saving treatments than others  How primary care providers can identify potential barriers ensure their patients have the best chance at receiving a transplant  The evolution of live-donor liver transplant and how it's changing opportunities in pediatrics   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

  It's hard to fathom why certain children receive life altering diagnoses. Pediatricians simply want to help, and that help usually comes in the form of early diagnosis. Duchenne muscular dystrophy, otherwise known as Duchenne or DMD, is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood, affecting approximately one in every 5,000 live male births. Early screening and identification can mean quicker access to care, early intervention programs and special education resources. Thanks to early diagnosis and advances in care, life expectancy is increasing.  Our guest joining us to discuss diagnosing and treating DMD is Michele Yang, MD, who specializes in pediatric neurology and neuromuscular medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado. She is also an associate professor of pediatric neurology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include:  How diagnosis of DMD has changed over the years.  Understanding the new, advanced treatments that exist.  Tips and tricks for primary care providers to utilize.  Realistic outcomes for these kids with DMD.  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Bringing a baby into this world is the start of many significant changes, yet one change that some families may not anticipate is post-partum depression (PPD). This condition affects more than the parent's wellbeing, it can impact children and other family members too. About one in five new parents experience mood or anxiety concerns during pregnancy or after delivery, making maternal mental health conditions the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth. While 80% of them will fully recover, setting them up for success can start in the pediatric primary care setting.

As a child, a nosebleed can be painful and embarrassing. Surprisingly, it's also something primary care providers run into often in their practices. While the great majority of nosebleeds, also called epistaxis, are limited in severity and duration, about 6% of people who experience them will seek medical attention. Interventions range from self-treatment and home remedies to more intensive procedural options and medications. Why are we seeing so many cases of epistaxis in our offices? What is causing the onset of these nosebleeds, and are environmental changes a culprit? To explore the intricacies of epistaxis, we are joined by Jeremy Prager, MD. Dr. Prager specializes in otolaryngology at Children's Hospital Colorado and is a Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

One of the great medical accomplishments of our time is the evolution of precision medicine. The ability to understand a patient's unique genetic profile has become more accessible to our patients, and now, there are multiple mechanisms for using that information to overcome disease. One of the specialties leading the way in precision medicine is pediatric neurology. According to the World Health Organization, more than one in three people are affected by some type of neurological condition. They are a leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide. This subset of precision medicine will not only help us decrease those numbers but also allow us to treat some of these conditions in ways we have never done before. To detail this exciting work, we're joined by two experts.
