I’ve been watching the original *Little House on the Prairie* with my family, and a couple of scenes stuck out. One episode treats an outbreak as “mountain fever,” which lines up with Rocky Mountain spotted fever—tick‑borne, not person‑to‑person, and deadly without antibiotics. The show’s “quarantine” scenes feel oddly familiar, especially when Ma starts baking nonstop. The teacher’s habit of sending a spoiled kid to the corner reminded me of a well‑known parenting voice that still pushes the “corner” as discipline. In my practice I use an authoritative approach—no corners, clear expectations, and quick, positive feedback—because the evidence shows it builds better behavior and parent confidence. A recent ADHD follow‑up highlighted something simple: low ferritin (iron stores) can make sleep restless and trigger ice‑chewing. After a short iron supplement course, the child’s sleep steadied and the ice habit faded. A quick ferritin and CBC test is cheap, easy, and often reveals iron‑related issues even without anemia. That’s why we offer an “ADHD tune‑up” that looks at nutrition, sleep, screen time, and parenting all together, and it can be done virtually with insurance.
