Dr. Renato Berger - Online Abuse

Bullying – specifically virtual bullying and cyberbullying – has been on the rise for more than ten years. It is difficult to combat because kids don’t want to rat out their friends, Online abuse is easily erased and many schools are not aware of the right strategies to assist victims and root out perpetrators. Cyberbullying is challenging to understand and very upsetting to budding generations; it is up to school authorities and parents to minimize issues on social media. 

A young person’s mental health could be more negatively impacted depending on how the situation is handled by guardians and school officials. As more people establish virtual lives, the Internet has become ripe stomping grounds for bullies, haters and low-lifes. They are faceless. They are often harder to trace and stop then bullies who do their dirty work in-person. Online or not, the dismal effects of bullying are no less significant, damaging children’s confidence and sending them into a downward spiral of discontent and despair. Cyberbullying is an epidemic affecting the minds of millions of children across the world.

Your child may be a victim of Online bullying if he or she doesn’t want to attend school, extra-curricular activities, etc.; if he or she becomes upset after using the computer or checking social media; if he or she seems more sad, withdrawn or moodier than usual; and if he or she avoids questions about what’s going on. Children who bully may show similar signs, as well as unusual or extended computer activity, quickly switching screens when you walk in the room, or multiple usernames parents don’t recognize.

Online abuse shouldn’t ruin your child’s life. The Internet is a safe space for all to enjoy. Don’t allow unfettered computer access to damage your child’s sense of self.

Dr. Renato Berger - Encouraging Your Child To Read

Dr. Renato Berger completed two separate residencies and one fellowship while training to be a pediatrician: a three -years residency  in pediatrics at Universidade Federal Fluminense after earning his M.D. in Rio de Janeiro, a one-year fellowship in pulmonology  and a two-years Pediatrics residency at Crozer Chester Medical Center which program is affiliated with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Upland, PA. He is a skilled doctor currently serving the Coconut Creek community and surrounding areas  in South Florida through his practice All Better Pediatric Group, working alongside three other highly trained and certified pediatric doctors and pediatric nurse practitioners six days a week. One of the most important “preventive medicine strategies” that he discusses with his patients’ guardians is encouraging your child to read.

According to a prestigious Central Connecticut University study, the United States is the seventh most literate nation on Earth, with the Western Hemisphere notably trailing it’s Eastern neighbors. This ranking is something to be proud of, but American children should have a 100% literacy rate. Ranking number seven means there are hundreds of thousands of kids in the United States who are reading below their grade level.

At All Better Pediatric Group, staff talk to parents about the significant benefits of confident reading and writing skills. It’s important to read out-loud to your child and keep books readily available at home, so your child can peruse at their own leisure. Upload books on your tablet and cellular device, too; that way, both you and your child can squeeze reading time in even if you’re having a hectic week. When things are less busy, follow a reading routine. Read before bed or at snack time at least four times each week.

Parents should be a reading model for their kids. Encouraging your child to read will lead to lifelong benefits. Find a new storybook to read to your child tonight. It’s never too late to start.
