As a board-certified Pediatric PA for nearly 30 years, I've developed a passion for Parents. It's one of the highlights of my daily practice to engage parents on both health and growth & development issues regarding their precious children!
This blog is my attempt to share with Parents some of the knowledge I've gained over the years and pass it along to you, and to engage you in conversation about your growing children.
We will discuss growth & development, health issues, and heart issues. As a Christian, I believe deeply in studying our children's hearts to see what we can discover there about life, our world, and who they are now and might become.
Our children are filled with so many gifts that they will offer to the world and God has made them like precious jewels. I believe it is our privilege and duty to "mine the depths" of their souls and discover the treasures hidden there and assist them to bring those to light as they grow.
Plunder is a word usually associated with the spoils of war. I use the word "plunder" because sometimes it is a battle to discover what is hidden in the seemingly insurmountable fortress of the hearts and minds of our children....and only if we are victorious in our pursuit will we be able to find the jewels and incredible treasures hidden there.
And not surprisingly, many times the treasure we find is hidden within ourselves as we journey towards the heart of our child.
In Isaiah 45:3, God says, "I will show you the hidden riches of secret places..." This is what we will do together...seek out the hidden riches in the secret places of our children's hearts and bodies to help them develop their treasures and stay healthy in the process!
If you like what you see here, please share it with your friends! Let's build a community. I look forward to your comments as we "mine the depths" together!
Going deeper....
