Welcome to The WeeThrive Peds Podcast! In this first episode, I'm sharing my personal story—why I became so passionate about infant and child development, and why I created WeeThrive to help parents like you.

You'll hear about:

• My journey as a pediatric occupational therapist and mom of three boys
• Our second son August's developmental delays after a severe GI condition and how going back to foundational milestones (especially crawling) transformed his development
• Our third son Beckham's surprise Down syndrome diagnosis and why I refused to accept that "kids with Down syndrome don't crawl"
• How supporting the full developmental sequence—without skipping steps—led to incredible results
• Why parents need more than reassurance: they need real, evidence-based tools to help their children succeed If you've ever been told "don't worry, your baby will catch up" but your gut tells you something isn't right, this episode is for you.

What's Coming on This Podcast: In future episodes, we'll dive deep into infant milestones, brain development, crawling, tummy time, retained primitive reflexes, sensory processing, and practical ways to support your child's motor and cognitive development at home—even if your pediatrician says everything is "fine."

This podcast exists to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for your child and help them thrive—no matter where they are in their developmental journey.
