20 pages. It covers the research, the barriers providers actually face, and what solutions look like in practice.

The white paper cites 26 peer-reviewed sources, including the CDC, NIH, WHO, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Journal of School Health. A few findings worth knowing before you read: children who received nutrition education were 28% less likely to be overweight or obese (NIH), and half of all mental health conditions start before age 14, most going undetected and untreated (WHO).

Right now, most children's health education runs through parents. That's a reasonable starting point, but a 2021 American Heart Association survey found that while 91% of parents believed it was important for their child to learn about heart health, only half felt confident enough to actually teach it. Schools pick up some of the slack, but they can't do it alone. Pediatric providers are well-placed to fill the gap, except the average well-child visit runs 20 minutes when the AAP recommends 30, materials are built for adults, and patient health literacy varies widely. The white paper looks at all three.

Tiny Docs gives providers animated health videos that children actually watch. You can run them in the waiting room, load them on a tablet during a visit, share them through your patient portal, or send families home with a link to keep the learning going. The content is reviewed by pediatric experts and built for different developmental stages, so it works across your patient population without extra prep on your end.
