Evidence-Based Parenting

Expert Guidance from a Pediatric Specialist

Welcome to Evidence-Based Parenting, where medical expertise meets practical parenting guidance.

Professional Background

I'm a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (MSN, CPNP-AC) with over 8 years of clinical experience specializing in developmental pediatrics and pediatric neurology. I've spent:

2 years in developmental pediatrics
6+ years in pediatric neurology
Countless hours evaluating children with neurological and developmental concerns

Why I Created This Site

Every day in my practice, I see parents overwhelmed by conflicting advice, drowning in anxiety about milestones, and struggling to separate evidence-based guidance from internet noise. I created this resource to provide:

Evidence-based information grounded in current research and clinical guidelines
Clear explanations that cut through medical jargon
Practical guidance you can actually use at 2am
Reassurance when normal variation is being mistaken for problems
Clear red flags so you know when to seek help

My Approach

I specialize in neurological and developmental topics—that's where my clinical expertise runs deepest. But this site covers the full spectrum of early parenting, always with an evidence-based lens.

You'll notice I:

Cite research and clinical guidelines
Explain the "why" behind recommendations, not just the "what"
Acknowledge uncertainty when evidence is limited
Distinguish between urgent concerns and normal variation
Provide medical disclaimers and encourage you to consult your own pediatrician
