About this listen

 Teaching kids to take charge of their health starts earlier than you think. Dr. Wendy shares how to help kids build health independence—starting with simple things like talking to the doctor, knowing their own symptoms, and understanding their family medical history. You'll also hear the powerful story of Thad Hamilton, whose experience with a genetic cancer shows why it matters for kids to learn this early. Plus, get a checklist you can start using with your child as young as age 3 to get them ready for their next doctor visit. The Save our Stomachs campaign’s mission is to build an endowment fund supporting sustained Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer syndrome research.
