Description

Is your kid suddenly clingy at drop-off? Refusing to sleep before 10 p.m.? Bringing home a full, untouched water bottle every day? 


You’re not alone — and it’s not just your kid. 


In this back-to-school Q&A episode, pediatrician Dr. Wendy Hunter answers the real questions parents are asking right now. From separation anxiety to sleep resets, immune-boosting tips, social struggles, and hydration battles, Dr. Wendy breaks down what’s normal, what’s helpful, and what to let go of — all with her signature mix of science, humor, and real-life parenting wisdom.
