About this site

This is drglasser.com a website meant to supplement and augment your visits to the pediatrician. It contains general information that parents and children may find useful, fun, inspiring, and informative. This website is not intended to replace an evaluation by your child’s doctor. If you feel you need additional information or clarification or are worried about something with your child always consult your child’s doctor. If you think it is a life threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.

I do not receive any incentives or financial benefits from any of the sources of information, links or bookstores listed on this website. The information is provided to assist you with your child's growth, health and well being.

My website covers a wide range of topics around a central theme of Healthy Lifestyle Habits. I believe that Healthy Habits form the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. The healthy lifestyle is what enables us to live full, productive, enjoyable lives with fewer medical problems. As a physician, I would like to see people have less medical problems than they do currently. As a pediatrician, I see firsthand the effects of unhealthy lifestyles and unhealthy habits on our children who are the future of our country. It is a very frightening picture. The rates of obesity in this country are skyrocketing and it is not limited to adults. Our children are becoming obese and extremely unhealthy. They are starting to develop “adult diseases” in childhood: obesity, high blood pressure, type II diabetes, and high cholesterol. This is a very worrisome trend.

I believe that we as a society have to make some changes, but that we as individuals are primarily responsible for making the changes in our own lives. As parents, we have a responsibility to our children not only to teach them Healthy Habits, but also to lead by our own example. You, your children, and your pediatrician must work together as a team to make this happen. The purpose of this website is to provide yet another resource for people trying to do their best.
