## Resource

Every pediatric visit tells two stories. One is about the child in front of us: their growth, symptoms and milestones. The other belongs to the parent beside them, often unspoken but deeply felt. In this episode, we're talking about parental wellbeing and why it belongs at the center of pediatric care. From chronic stress and mental health challenges to resilience and support systems, a caregiver's experience doesn't stay in the background but rather shapes a child's biology, behavior and long-term health. To discuss this important topic, we are joined by Mona Amin, DO . She is a board-certified pediatrician, a mom of two and the founder of the incredible podcast PedsDocTalk , a globally recognized platform reaching over 1.5 million people . Some highlights from this episode include: Why a parent's mental health impacts child health and development The role the pediatrician can play in identifying parental struggles Common misconceptions about parental mental health Healthy boundaries between sharing details and privacy For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org .
