    #92-1 Parenting Advice: Social & Emotional Health for Children

    This month, we begin a new series on quality improvement initiatives that pediatric practices can implement to support families. Our first episode focuses on promoting social and emotional health by equipping pediatricians with practical strategies to help parents foster resilience, healthy relationships, and emotional well-being in their children. Our host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and Cindy Brough, MD discuss the importance of building awareness, empathy, effective communication, problem-solving skills, self-confidence, and a strong sense of self from an early age. The conversation introduces a simple framework for coaching families through emotions: "notice, name, normalize, and navigate." We also explore how pediatricians can help parents provide consistent guidance, model healthy emotional regulation, and tailor expectations to a child's developmental stage. Additional topics include teaching conflict resolution, supporting positive peer relationships, recognizing when social withdrawal or changes in friendships may signal a concern, and understanding how a parent's own social and emotional health influences their child. Throughout the episode, Dr. Brough shares practical conversation starters that pediatricians can incorporate into routine visits, along with a wealth of evidence-based resources to support families in raising emotionally healthy children.Have a question?

    #91-4 POTS: Q & A

    In this Q&A episode of our Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) series, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Kirti Sivakoti, MD, answer listener questions about diagnosing and managing POTS in pediatric patients. The discussion explores how to distinguish POTS from conditions with overlapping symptoms, including Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and other common POTS mimics, and when referral to an immunologist may be appropriate. We also review commonly used medications for symptom management, including practical considerations for initiating and tapering therapy as patients improve. Additional topics include the effects of caffeine, stimulant medications, ADHD treatments, and vasoconstrictors on orthostatic symptoms, helping clinicians navigate treatment decisions in children and adolescents with complex presentations. Throughout the episode, Dr. Sivakoti emphasizes the importance of individualized care, careful assessment, and ongoing follow-up to optimize outcomes for patients living with POTS.Have a question?

    #91-3 POTS: Future

    In this episode of our Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) series, we look beyond diagnosis and treatment to discuss what the future holds for children and adolescents living with POTS. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Kirti Sivakoti, MD, review the long-term prognosis, highlighting what is currently known about recovery, symptom progression, and functional outcomes over time. The conversation also explores the complex relationship between POTS and other conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, eating disorders, chronic pain syndromes, and functional neurologic disorders. We discuss how these overlapping conditions can influence diagnosis, management, and quality of life, and examine where current research is headed as our understanding of POTS continues to evolve. Finally, our Dr. Sivakoti shares what they believe is the most misunderstood aspect of POTS and identifies one of the most undervalued interventions that can make a meaningful difference for patients. This episode offers practical insights into the evolving science of POTS while reinforcing the importance of a comprehensive, individualized approach to care.Have a question?

    In Episode 2 of our series on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), we focus on evidence-based treatment strategies to help children and adolescents manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Kirti Sivakoti, MD, review the foundation of POTS management, emphasizing lifestyle interventions such as maintaining adequate hydration, increasing salt intake when appropriate, establishing healthy sleep habits, and implementing a gradual, structured exercise program. The discussion also explores the role of nutrition, compression garments, and heat avoidance in reducing symptom burden, along with practical accommodations that can support patients at school and in everyday activities. Finally, we review pharmacologic treatment options, discussing when medications may be appropriate and how they fit into an individualized care plan. Throughout the episode, the emphasis is on developing a comprehensive, patient-centered approach that helps children and adolescents regain function and improve their quality of life.Have a question?

    #91-1 POTS: Diagnostic Criteria

    This month we begin a new series on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), exploring the diagnosis and management of this increasingly recognized condition in pediatric patients. In this episode, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Kirti Sivakoti, MD, provide an overview of POTS before discussing current approaches to diagnosis and recent updates in the field. We review the diagnostic criteria, including orthostatic symptoms and the degree of functional impairment, and consider how these factors help guide clinical evaluation and management. The conversation also examines the growing understanding of POTS as a spectrum disorder, with many patients experiencing overlapping symptoms and contributing conditions. Finally, we discuss how to distinguish POTS from vasovagal syncope and review current thinking on the underlying causes and pathophysiology of POTS.

    #90 Angelo's Book Club

    In months with five weeks, The Virtual Curbside takes a break from clinical topics for a pediatric book club discussion. This month, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, is joined by regular book club guest Angelo Giardino, MD, FAAP, and a special guest, fifth-grader Harry Thatcher, to discuss The Anxious Generation: A Graphic Novel by Jonathan Haidt. Together, they explore the book's central themes through the lens of two very different childhoods, comparing the play-based experiences of previous generations with today's phone-based childhoods. Harry offers a unique perspective as a member of the generation at the center of the discussion, while Drs. Wirkus and Giardino reflect on how growing up in a different era shaped their own experiences. The conversation examines the impact of technology, social connection, and unstructured play on child development, mental health, and what these changes mean for pediatricians and the families they serve.No credit available for this episode.

    #90-4 Pediatric Neurology: Q & A

    In this Q&A episode of our pediatric neurology series, we answer listener questions about some of the most rapidly evolving areas in neurology and genetics. The discussion begins with the relationship between child abuse evaluations and Brief Resolved Unexplained Events (BRUE), including important considerations when assessing infants with unexplained symptoms. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Josh Bonkowsky, MD then explore the neurologic basis of developmental disorders and the growing role of advanced diagnostics such as genome sequencing and MRI. Our guests discuss how these tools can provide valuable insights into underlying conditions and increasingly influence treatment decisions and long-term care planning. The conversation also examines the complex relationship between genes, brain development, and the symptoms children experience. As genetic testing becomes more widely available, we consider the promise of gene therapy, the emerging field of precision medicine, and realistic timelines for translating these advances into everyday clinical practice. Finally, we discuss the benefits of obtaining a genetic diagnosis-even when a cure is not yet available-including connecting families with resources, reducing isolation, informing future care decisions, and the potential expansion of newborn screening programs as genetic therapies continue to develop.Have a question?
