In this episode of ParentingU, Dr. Kali Broussard, pediatrician and infectious diseases specialist with Our Lady of Lourdes Children’s Health, shares practical tips to help parents manage common summer injuries and prevent bigger problems. Dr. Broussard breaks down when to worry (and when not to), why insect repellent matters, what every first aid kit should include and how simple wound care can make a big difference.
