where wellness meets science for families
PEDIATRICIAN plus
Answers that don't fit in a 15-minute visit.
Free resources for every family — plus one-on-one time with me when you want to talk it through.
You already have a pediatrician.
I'm not here to replace her.
I'm here for everything that gets squeezed out of the visit — sleep, screens, food, gut health, big feelings, the thing you meant to ask about and didn't. Education, empowerment, whole child focus, so they can not just survive, but THRIVE.
What you'll find here
Resources, free.
Guides and honest write-ups on screens, snacks, books, and screen-free living — the questions I get asked most.
Digital mindfulness.
A vetted library of tools, family media agreements, and by-age guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
The Mess and Magic.
Twice a month: one idea and one small habit, grounded in what the research actually shows.
One-on-one, with an actual pediatrician
Sometimes you don't need a Google rabbit hole at 11pm — you need focused time with someone who knows kids and will be straight with you. Consultations are virtual, unhurried, and built around your questions: health and nutrition, sleep, emotional regulation and behavior, or neurospicy brainstorming.
Stay in the loop.
The Mess and Magic
The newsletter.
Twice a month — one idea and one small habit, grounded in what the research actually shows. Natural-minded, evidence-backed, no hype and no guilt.
Two ways to keep up. Pick the one that fits you — or do both. (We won't email you more than a couple of times a month.)
Prefer to watch?
For everyone else.
New videos on YouTube and the day-to-day on Instagram — the same practical, evidence-backed parenting content, in shorter form.
Meet the Founder
Hi! I’m Dr. Padget Skogman — a board-certified pediatrician, child advocate, and mama to three little women. I started PediatricianPlus because the questions that matter most to families rarely fit inside a 15-minute visit — and every parent deserves somewhere to bring them.
