[@rayna276]

im 10 years old and I’ve wanted to be a pediatrician ever since I was 6 years old, I was diagnosed with leukaemia!! i promised myself i would help people the way my paediatricians helped me!! your videos has really inspired me for such a long time and my mom thinks paediatrics is a amazing field and I really want to know I can help people, I’ve always wanted to be a doctor but you know kids are so passionate and energetic!! - my mom LOL!! also what do you / did you major in? I want to major in biochemistry:)

So happy I’ve found your channel, I need some inspiration for pediatrics! I’m in my last year of med school and now I really have to decide and pediatrics is really the only specialty that interests me and that I see myself in. Especially because with children, once you cure them, they usually get to live a long, healthy life that is still ahead of them. Which is pretty cool, if you get to help them come to that.

Hi! First of all I'm really so glad that i found your channel it's such an honour to find a great pediatrician who really loves and appreciate his job❤️❤️ Then i would say that I'm 2nd year medical student i just started and being a pediatrician is one of the reasons i got to medic school. Your video inspired me and gived me a vision of what I want to become ❤️💓

Hi so so glad to have found your Chanel. My son is so determined and shows the same enthusiasm you show as you talk about your life as a Paediatrician . whilst he is only 13 years old can you offer any support or advise as how me as a parent can get him more excited and encourage him to pursue this career . what books he should read, where he should start thinking of volunteering over the holidays when he gets older. I would appreciate any advise you can offer .

[@theprimarypediatrician]

Amazing to hear he has such an interest in pediatrics! I recommend shadowing different doctors once he gets to high school and college years!! The exposure to the field can be really helpful before making final decisions! Usually children’s hospitals have lots of volunteer opportunities and is a great place to start looking! Hope that helps!! Best of luck to him!

Your love for pediatrics is clearly visible in your eyes and smile. Keep making a difference in the same way.❤ 😅 And hey, if you don't mind, could you please share your skincare regime as you got a whole different glow on your face? Thank you so much ✨👑

[@theprimarypediatrician]

Thank you for your kind words, it means the world! I’d love to do a video about beauty products I love - thanks for the recommendation! :)

[@Sabjab26]

ur very inspiring 💙 also i just wanna ask u how do i enhance my communication skills (esp w kids) since that its so important for pediatricians to be good at that?

[@theprimarypediatrician]

That is a really good question! I think the biggest thing is practice! If you have friends or family members with children that's a great way to start! You get enough exposure to children that by the time you are fully trained as a Pediatrician you are completely fluent it communicating with babies, children and adolescents and their parents!

[@summernever]

i work in a daycare so I can help you out. A pretty easy ice breaker is asking about their interests. For instance even though I'm 23, if I see a kid in my checkout (local homegoods store) has a Pokemon tshirt, that's a pretty easy "in". "Who's your favorite Pokemon?" And the discussion goes from there. I'd have you look up some Pokemon so you're able to give an honest answer back when the question is turned around on you.
