About This Program

Kids Health examines how parents can cope with common childhood illnesses and parenting challenges.

Host Doug Hamilton and pediatricians Dr. Ron Miller of Meritcare Clinic and Dr. Linda Getz Kleiman of Dakota Clinic answered viewer phone calls and discussed the issues many Moms and Dads face: At what point do behavior problems become medical problems? What can I do before my child is born to assure a healthy infancy? What are the latest treatments for viruses? When should I call a doctor when my child is sick? When are antibiotics effective and when are they not?

Heathworks producer Kim Stenehjem, a grandmother of two, remembers the frustration of caring for her own children. "What with ear infections, croupy coughs, toddler temper tantrums, and chicken pox, I wore out several copies of Dr. Spock's book," she said. "I would have loved this program - a chance to learn more about my kids' health, to learn when to call the doctor, and when to rely on the 'chicken soup' type remedies."

Kids' Health aired live on Thursday, February 22nd at 7:00 pm and was rebroadcast on Sunday, February 25th at 4:00 pm CT.

Healthworks is made possible by a grant from Dakota Medical Foundation.
