Discovering Gifted Children in Pediatric Practice
Does your child have a high IQ, talks about 100 things at once, but scores low on national tests? Does he/she play well with the other kids, talks back in class, but is completely bored in school? Perhaps your child is gifted. Read this article published in April, 2010, in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. In a study led by our very own Dr. Liu and Dr. Stein, they have found that school psychologists may be recommending ADHD medication unnecessarily; they have found in their pediatric practice, that in fact, these children are gifted.
A 7 year old Child with Down Syndrom and Disruptive Behaviors – due to medication or disease?

Oct 22,2009 – Dr. Janet Crow comments on Swine Flu in Schools
Schools “end up being a wonderful place where things can be spread very easily,” said Dr. Janet Crow, a pediatrician and associate clinical professor at the UCSD School of Medicine.
Influenza is transmitted through droplets of moisture released by an infected person. Those droplets can move from person to person through a sneeze or cough, or they can be left on surfaces such as a table or door handle. The virus can survive outside the body for several hours.
“Any time you have children moving around and interactive with their environment, then you have contact with surfaces,” Crow said.
