    In this episode, we continue our discussion of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), focusing on clinical features, treatment, and care after discharge. Our host, Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Camille Fung, MD review the signs and symptoms clinicians use to recognize and assess withdrawal, along with current approaches to medication management and supportive care in the hospital setting. The conversation also addresses discharge planning, including criteria for safe transition home and coordination with caregivers. Finally, we explore the important role of the primary care pediatrician in follow-up—monitoring growth and development, supporting families, and coordinating ongoing services to promote the best possible outcomes for these infants. Have a question?

    #84 Angelo's Book Club

    In months with five weeks, The Virtual Curbside steps away from clinical topics for a pediatric book club discussion. This month, we explore The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by Ned Johnson and William Stixrud. Our hosts Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and Angelo Giardino, MD, FAAP, reflect on the science behind autonomy, stress, and motivation, and discuss how the book’s core themes intersect with pediatric care, parenting, and adolescent development. The conversation examines how well-intentioned adult control can sometimes undermine resilience, and how supporting a child’s sense of agency can improve mental health, learning, and long-term well-being. Listeners will gain practical insights into how pediatricians can reinforce these principles in conversations with families—and how clinicians themselves can think differently about success, pressure, and development in children and teens.
