Description
Anne Weaver Speaks with Tammy Turner, Marketing & Community Relations Manager at Annapolis Pediatrics about the Services Provided to the Community and the Involvement in AACPS
A
Welcome
to
Parent
Connection
I'm,
an
Weaver
from
the
school
and
family
partnerships
office.
Our
goal
here
in
school
and
family
partnerships
is
to
support
high
student
achievement
for
all
of
our
students
in
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools.
How
do
we
do
that?
Well.
First,
we
try
to
connect
schools
and
families
so
that
families
better
understand
what
their
children
are
learning
in
school
and
how
they
can
support
that
learning
at
home.
A
Not
only
do
we
talk
about
how
they
can
support
academic
achievement
with
things
like
monitoring
homework,
reading
too
and
with
children,
everyday
and,
of
course,
trips
to
the
library,
but
also
parenting
skills,
so
that
their
children
arrive
at
school,
physically,
socially
and
emotionally
healthy
and
ready
to
learn.
In
addition
to
ensuring
good
two-way
communication
between
families
and
schools,
we
also
work
with
local
community
organizations
and
businesses
who
support
schools
in
a
variety
of
ways.
A
B
So
Annapolis
Pediatrics
has
been
around
for
quite
a
while.
We
actually
started
in
1948
and
started
as
a
small
practice
with
a
doctor.
Briscoe
was
the
original
tichenor
who
started
the
practice
since
then,
we've
grown.
We
now
have
four
offices
throughout
in
Rundle
and
Queen
Anne's
County,
and
we
provide
health
care
for
families
throughout
the
stages
of
their
child's
life,
from
birth
all
the
way
up
to
about
21
years
old,
and
where
are
the
practices
located?
So
we
have
an
office
in
Annapolis
right
across
from
the
Naval
Academy
the
stadium.
B
Well,
we
have
an
office
in
crofton
down
on
route.
Three,
we
have
another
office
in
severna
park
which
is
off
of
ba
and
root
2,
and
then
we
have
our
other
office
over
the
bridge
in
Kent
Island
and
we're
really
really
excited
that
we'll
be
opening
our
fifth
office
later
this
year,
beginning
of
June,
probably
in
south
county
in
edgewater,
it
sounds
like
a
huge
practice.
It's
a
big
practice.
B
Actually,
we
are
one
of
the
biggest
practices
and
while
we
are
the
biggest
practice
in
Maryland
and
definitely
in
Anne
Arundel
County,
we
are
thrilled
that
we
are
able
to
help
so
many
families
how
many
providers
use.
So
we
have
30
providers
and
that
are
those
our
pediatricians
as
well
as
certified.
Pediatric
nurse
practitioners.
B
Them
so
we
do
so.
One
of
my
job's
is
to
do
communication
and
do
outreach
to
our
families
and
one
of
the
methods
that
we
do,
that
is
through
email
and
on
our
email,
just
our
email
distribution
list.
We
have
over
11,000
on
that
list.
In
addition,
we
communicate
with
our
families
through
social
media.
We
do
facebook,
twitter
and
instagram,
so
we
are
trying
to
always
sort
of
make
sure
we're
able
to
keep
in
touch
with
our
families
the
ways
that
they
communicate.
B
A
B
A
B
So
the
the
thing
our
bottom
line
is
that
we're
trying
to
make
things
as
convenient
for
everyone
as
possible
and
we
live
in
a
very
busy
world.
So
we
have
we're
open
7
days
a
week.
Our
Annapolis
office
is
open
on
weekends.
We
do
walk
in
sick
appointments,
which
our
families
love,
that
you
don't
have
to
have
an
appointment.
If
your
son
or
daughter
is
not
feeling
well
get.
B
Can
just
come
right
in
and
first
thing
in
the
morning
we
have
that
offered
in
Annapolis
for
an
hour
every
morning
and
that
they're
able
to
be
seeing
quickly
and
then
be
able
to
move
on
with
the
day.
So,
yes,
we
are
we're
happy
to
offer
that
we
also
have
a
triage
service,
which
is,
if
you're,
not
sure,
if
your
son
or
daughter,
you
know
you
call
it
like
you
said
in
the
during
the
day
or
in
the
evening,
you're
not
sure
if
they
need
to
come
in
for
an
appointment,
you're.
B
A
Know
when,
when
I
think
of
pediatric
practices,
I
think
of
well
baby
visits
immunizations
what
to
do
when
your
child
is
sick
and
so
in
the
medical
part
of
eight,
but
I
know
that
Annapolis
pediatrics
also
does
an
extensive
outreach
program
and
you've
talked
a
little
bit
about
communicating
with
families
through
email
and
Twitter
and
Facebook
and
so
on,
but
I
know
you
also
do
classes
and
workshops
nutrition
topics.
So
on.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
sure.
B
So
we,
you
know,
as
a
practice
realized
a
while
ago
that
we
need
to
do
more
than
just
be
there
for
you,
when
you
have
need
your
immunizations.
When
you
need
physical,
you
know,
appointments
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
We
realized
that
we
need
to
go
out
and
do
a
little
bit
more
education
and
outreach
and
look
at
families
while
they're
well
as
well
as
when
they're
sick.
So
we
started
back
in
2012
with
a
nutrition
initiative
that
was
our.
You
know.
B
First
push
we
as
a
practice
decided
we
wanted
to
do
more
outreach
and
more
education
and
tell
our
families
how
they
could
help
their
families
and
kids
live
healthier
lives
through
nutrition.
So
we
started
with
that
back
in
2012,
we
offer
workshops
to
parents,
workshops
to
kids
in
our
practice
and
then
we've
even
gone
to
the
schools
and
been
able
to
offer
some
classes
for
them
as
well.
Can.
B
B
Stage,
probably
from
about
18
months
to
about
four
years
old
time
and
time
again,
our
practitioners
have
her
family's
come
in
and
just
be
like.
Oh,
my
son
was
such
a
good
eater,
and
then
he
hit
you
know
a
year
and
a
half
into
and
now
he's
refusing
everything.
So
we
developed
a
workshop
for
those
parents
and
we
offer
it
three
times
a
year.
B
It
fills
up
within
hours
of
it
being
announced
where
we
have
a
provider
who
comes
and
talks
to
the
families
parents
about
survival
skills,
that's
called
nutritional
survival
skills
for
the
18
month,
24
year
old,
and
it's
really
talking
about
you
know.
These
seems
that
parents
have
struggles
that
they
have
with
their
kids
and
some
methods
to
help
them
bottom
line.
B
Is
that
it's
going
to
get
better
they're
going
to
get
through
it
and
that
so
the
the
providers,
just
you,
know,
kind
of
share
their
personal
stories
further
up
from
their
own
kids
from
you
know,
different
patients
that
they've
seen
so
that's
one
area
where
we've
helped
kind
of
educate
parents
of
younger
kids
to
kind
of
get
through
that
stage.
We
also
for
the
younger
kids,
we
go
out
and
do
a
taste,
the
rainbow
class
to
preschools.
B
So
we
kind
of
we
offer
that
class
as
I
said
to
preschool
we
go
and
have
them
taste
of
three
different
fruits:
three
different
vegetables
and
have
it
be
different
colors,
and
we
talked
about
the
colors
and
and
kind
of
relate
all
that
and
have
them
try
things
and
you
know
even
their
preschool
teachers
or
the
parents
that
are
in
the
class
or
like
o
Muslims,
not
going
to
try
that
and
then
are
thrilled
when
they
see
them
actually
sample
something.
You
know
different.
B
B
You
know
we
really
try
and
help
share
the
information
with
them
that
they
can
make
some
at
this
stage
of
the
game,
that's
going
to
affect
their
health
and
wellbeing
for
the
rest
of
their
life.
One
of
the
classes.
It's
a
series
of
five
one
is
talking
about
reading
food
labels
and
how
important
that
is,
and
I
brought
a
couple
little
props
for
that
one.
When
we
read
food
labels,
one
of
the
things
that
we
talk
about
is
sugar.
B
That's
in
a
lot
of
products,
and
one
of
the
props
that
we
show
the
kids
is:
don't
drink
your
calories
and
when
you
drink
a
beverage
like
this,
it
has
this
much
sugar
in
it.
So
this
is
65
grams
of
sugar,
that
is
28
sugar,
cubes
and
that's
how
much
Wow
would
be,
and
even
kids,
you
know
who
are
10
or
like?
Oh
I,
love
sugar.
They
see
this
and
they're.
Like
that's
disgusting,
I
would
have
never
said,
that's
a
great
visual
and
then
the
other
one.
A
lot
of
kids
play
sports.
B
You
know
and
we
talked
to
them
and
we
talked
to
their
parents
about
sports
beverages.
And
you
know:
do
you
really
need
to
drink
that
after
you
play
soccer
for
an
hour?
And
the
answer
is
no
that
if
you
look
at
the
nutrition
label
on
a
sports
drink,
it
actually
contains
sugar
as
well.
It
has
third,
this
size
has
35
grams
of
sugar,
which
would
be
15
sugar
cubes.
B
A
B
Email
me,
okay,
and
we
can
share
that
with
ok,
ok,
so
my
emails
t
Turner
t2,
you
are
any-
are
at
Anna
aann,
a
pedes,
PDS
com,
terrific,
so
yeah,
absolutely
we.
We
are
happy
to
go
out
to
the
schools
and
provide
this
information.
We
don't
charge
for
anything
but
the
materials
that
we
share
with
the
students.
So,
as
I
said,
one
of
the
workshops
we
share
with
fifth
grade
is
the
reading
a
food
label.
B
We
also
talked
about
portion
size
because
we
as
a
culture,
have
sort
of
a
distorted
view
of
what
a
much
we
need
to
eat
right.
So
we
share
with
them
sort
of
what
accurate
portions
are
of
different
foods,
lots
of
visuals
lots
of
back
and
forth
discussion,
and
then
we
also
do
an
eating
out
class.
So
talking
about
making
healthier
choices
when
you're
going
out
to
restaurants,
fast
food
place
and
so
on,
because
that's
part
of
our
world
do
you
know,
then
we
discuss
calories
in
and
calories
out.
B
So
it's
you
know,
sort
of
balancing
what
you're
taking
in
with
what
you're
exerting
and
sort
of
finding
that
that
good
place
to
be,
and
then
the
other
one.
The
final
one,
which
is
the
class
favorite,
is
the
sampling
we
do
for
the
for
the
older
kids,
like
we
do
for
the
younger
kids
that
the
sampling
of
healthy
snacks,
of
course,
when.
B
A
C
Welcome
to
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools

we
partner
with
other
county
departments
and
community
organizations.
C
Participants

opportunity
to
hear
from
speakers
on
various
topics,
including
empowerment,
health
and
disease
prevention,
positive
parenting,
stress
relief
amongst
others,
on
behalf
of
the
planning
committee,
we'd
like
to
take
this
time
to
thank
you
for
watching
and
learning
about
this
wonderful
event
to
learn
more
about
how
you
can
get
involved
with
India
photo
me.
Please
see
our
contact
information
and
link
on
the
screen.
A
A
Four
in
the
first
part
of
our
show,
we
talked
about
annapolis,
pediatrics
practice
and
some
of
the
outreach
you
do
in
the
community.
There's
another
feature
of
your
practice
that
I
find
really
interesting.
You
have
a
new
developmental
pediatrician,
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
she
does
and
why
she
joins.
You
practice
sure.
B
So
this
is
a
new
thing
that
we
are
now
offering
to
our
families.
We
had
started
in
July,
we
hired
a
developmental
behavioral
pediatrician
and
that's
a
fancy
title
for
someone
who
specializes
in
behaviors
such
as
anxiety,
depression,
ADHD,
those
sorts
of
issues
and
she's
certified
trained
as
that
type
of
pediatrician.
B
You
know
I'm
sure,
and
in
your
viewing
of
kids
and
being
with
families,
one
of
the
biggest
areas
that
we've
seen
and
as
a
society
is
a
lot
more
anxiety
and
stress,
and
you
know
that
sort
of
those
behavioral
issues
for
our
kids
and
it's
you
know,
scary,
and
we
want
to
figure
out
as
a
practice
how
we
can
help.
So
in
July
we
sort
of
developed
a
new
program
at
our
practice
for
our
families,
where
we
are
doing
that
sort
of
treatment
and
intervention
and
assistance.
You.
A
Know
I
think
it
makes
such
a
difference
to
families
I
mean
not
only
your
classes.
I
was
thinking,
as
you
were
talking
about
that
that
you
know.
Parents
constantly
need
reassurance
that
they're
doing
the
right
thing
or
they
need
a
few
tips
that
they
can
put
in
their
toolbox
that
they
can
pull
out
and
use
with
their
children,
because
you
know
there's
no
manual
for
how
to
raise
children
right.
No
class
parents
can
take,
and
you
know
all
of
a
sudden,
you're
an
expert.
A
You
know
a
constantly
are
up
against
questions
and
struggles
and
to
have
services
like
this
I
think
is
really
really
helpful
and
I
know.
When
my
son
was
growing
up.
We
consulted
a
developmental
pediatrician
at
one
point
when
he
was
in
high
school.
It
made
a
huge
difference.
I
mean
we
just
kind
of
came
out
of
there
with
a
sigh
of
relief
that
okay,
we're
on
the
right
track.
Right.
B
B
B
One
of
the
things
that
we
sort
of
identified
as
a
constant
concern
or
question
it's
sort
of
a
mixture
of
the
nutrition
and
the
behavioral
issues
is
eating
and
body
image,
especially
for
our
preteens
we've
had
several
families
ask
us,
you
know,
sort
of
advice
and
and
wanting
assistance
with
that,
so
we
developed
a
class
for
parents
to
talk
about
that.
To
talk
about.
You
know,
what's
normal
on
both
ends
of
the
spectrum,
you
know
if
your
kid's
not
eating
and
for
if
they're
eating
too
much
and
then
how
they
perceive
themselves.
A
Pop
it's
very
popular
yeah
I.
Imagine
the
other
thing
that
we
have
just
begun
is
a
wonderful
partnership
between
our
office,
school
and
family
partnerships
and
your
Annapolis
pediatrics,
and
this
last
fall
at
our
family
involvement
conference.
You
all
provided
several
workshops,
breakout
sessions
for
us,
which
were
very
well
attended
and
we're
so
excited
to
have
had
you
and
hope
we
can
continue
that
in
the
future.
Tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
the
topics
were
and
who
presented
Shores.
So.
B
C
A
And
that's
a
topic
that
when,
when
we
have
family
involvement
conferences,
we
always
ask
attendees
to
fill
out
an
evaluation
and
to
tell
us
not
only
about
their
opinions
about
the
workshops
they
saw
that
day.
But
what
else
would
you
like
to
see
at
future
conferences,
and
that
is
one
that
always
comes
up
and
not
only?
How
do
you
identify
a
child
who
has
ADHD
or
a
DD,
but
also
how
do
you
live
with
a
child
at
home
right?
You
know:
what
can
you
do
so
that
you
have
positive
behavior
interactions
with
that
child
right.
B
Yeah,
dr.
Richter
was
thrilled
to
be
able
to
present
that
class
and
help.
You
know
additional
parents
with
some
of
those
strategies,
yeah
the
other
class
that
we
did
was
Erin
murali,
one
of
our
nurse
practitioners
offered
the
stress,
Buster's
class,
and
that
was
the
through
ages
and
stages,
so
that
kind
of
went
through
different
periods
of
a
child's
life
and
how
to
help
them
deal
with
stress
and
I
know
that
class
was
so
popular.
It
was
she.
A
Has
people
a
bird
or
only
yes
exactly
because
again,
I
think
you
know
parents,
anxiety
and
stress
are
such
big
issues
right
now,
and
you
know
we
find
children
who
you
know
have
physical
symptoms
because
of
their
anxiety
and
their
stress
and
have
hard
time
focusing
and
so
that's
another
topic.
That's
always
really
popular
with
families
and
they
were
really
able
to
cover
preschool
through
high
school,
which
I
think
was
really
appealing
to
our
families.
Absolutely.
B
A
B
Absolutely
the
other
workshop
that
we
offered
at
the
family
involvement
conference
was
the
portion
size
and
eating
out.
We
offered
the
nutritional
aspect
as
well,
and
that
was
great
to
talk
to
parents
and
share
with
them
these
same
little
tricks
and
techniques
that
we
share
with
the
kids
in
in
the
school
other
workshop.
A
A
really
valuable
partnership
to
tap
into
your
expertise,
to
share
that
information
with
our
families
and
if
our
viewers
have
any
workshops
that
they
would
like
to
see
offered
at
our
conferences,
please
feel
free
to
contact
me.
My
email
address
is
a
weaver
one
at
a
a
CPS
org.
We
would
love
to
have
your
feedback
about
topics
that
you'd
like
to
see
at
future.
Family
involvement,
conferences
and
I
know
you
also,
in
addition
to
the
partnership
you
have
with
our
office.
You
also
have
other
partnerships.
A
B
B
We
also
partner
with
Annapolis
pediatrics
partners
with
the
other
aspect
of
the
healthy
and
Arundel
coalition,
which
is
the
co-occurring
committee,
which
deals
with
people
who
are
struggling
with
substance,
abuse
and
mental
illness.
So
we
try
and
make
sure
that
we
are
aware
of
everything
countywide
that's
going
on
to
help
families
so
that
we
can
share
that
information
with
them
partner
partner
with
other
organizations
and
then
all
work
together
to
try
and
help.
A
A
It's
a
interesting
difference
in
approach.
You
know
I
started
out
by
saying
when
we
think
of
pediatric
practices,
we
think
of
well
baby
visits
immunizations
and
what
to
do
when
your
child
is
sick,
but
this
is
really
takes
the
focus
to
how
to
live
a
more
healthy
lifestyle
so
that
you're
not
getting
sick
right
yeah.
We.
B
B
We're
going
to
be
updating
it,
so
it's
going
to
be
more
friendly
on
all
devices.
So,
if
you're
on
your
iPad
right
now,
it's
a
little
trickier
to
use
if
you're
on
your
phone
or
your
iPad,
so
we're
going
to
we're
moving
forward
with
that,
so
in
the
next
six
months,
or
so
will
be
thrilled
to
to
have
even
it'd,
be
even
better,
but
right
now,
there's
definitely
a
lot
of
information
on
there.
B
We
put
we
try
and
keep
things
up
to
date
regarding
what's
going
on
in
our
practice,
but
also
make
sure
we
share
things
that
we
find
useful
for
resources
for
parents.
There's
information,
you
know
about
different
stages
of
life,
for
your
kids,
there's
different
links
to
different
online
resources
that
we
find
useful
as
a
pediatricians
office
and
there's
also
you
know,
information
about
the
classes
and
workshops
and
everything
that
we're
offering
and.
A
A
A
A
CPS
which
will
be
wonderful,
well,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
with
us.
You
know,
I
think
our
goal
is
the
same.
We
want
our
children
to
grow
up
to
be
healthy,
productive,
successful
citizens
and
I
think
the
more
that
we
can
reach
out
and
work
together
on
these
partnerships.
The
better
you
know
the
classes
in
schools
classes
at
preschools.
