About PedsParent Network
Founder
Looking Ahead
PedsParent Network is a pediatrician-founded educational platform that helps families better understand health and development.
Parents want to be informed. They want to understand the reasoning behind recommendations and feel confident speaking up when something doesn’t sit right.
PedsParent Network provides evidence-based information that helps families feel more prepared at home and in conversations with their child’s pediatrician.
Heather Acevedo, MD, is a board-certified, practicing pediatrician with over a decade of clinical experience caring for children and families.
She also has over 10 years of homeschooling experience, which has influenced how she thinks about child development and health education.
Through years in clinical practice, Dr. Acevedo has seen how much is often discussed in a single visit. Several topics may be covered at once, and parents are balancing new information while caring for their child in the moment. It’s common for questions to arise later, after time to reflect or after encountering additional information elsewhere.
PedsParent Network is continuing to expand its educational resources, including interactive health education designed for children and the development of additional materials for Spanish-speaking families.
