Words from Dr. Bonnie Kim:
"Hello Complete Care for Kids families! As my children enter their teen years, I have
become more reflective about my role as a parent and as a pediatrician. The
intersection of these two roles have shaped how I approach my patients and their
families.
I often look with nostalgia at baby and toddler photos of my kids. The development and growth that happens in the early years are amazing! It is a joy to be a part of that
journey with my patients and their families. I especially enjoy counseling families on
sleep, nutrition and screen time/digital use. I found Marc Weissbluth’s book Healthy
Sleep Habits Happy Child to be helpful and informative when I sleep trained my
children. Another recommendation is solidstarts.com for tips on infant feeding.
As my children have grown into pre-teens and teens, my support of my own children
through mental health challenges have deepened my empathy and interest in the
mental well-being of my patients. With my adolescent patients, I stress the importance of balance — balancing school, exercise, friends, digital use and rest. This struggle is real as I have the same conversations with my own children!
It is a privilege to be able to use my own experiences to share this journey with my
patients and their families.”
We are so happy to have Dr. Kim as part of our team and are grateful for all the wonderful qualities she brings to our practice. Her dedication to providing compassionate care and her commitment to building strong relationships with families make her a true asset to our team. Dr. Kim’s expertise and warm approach to pediatric care create a positive, welcoming environment for both children and parents.
Stay tuned for more provider spotlights in the upcoming months!
