Hello and thanks for stopping by. My name is Uchenna Umeh, MD. Aka Dr. Lulu, "The Momatrician".I am a proud mom of three beautiful sons; 2 in college and one in middle school. They are a constant source of joy, inspiration, and awe to me. My reason for living and breathing. I am also a board-certified pediatrician with nearly 3 decades of clinical practice. This is the first of my "How To" series for parenting E-Books I am writing. I am truly honored to share some of the knowledge I have acquired over the years with all of you. I had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope you feel the vibes as you immerse yourselves in my words. In these series, I try to help parents navigate the sometimes-daunting-but-mostly-fun-and-ultimately-rewarding task of raising children, particularly teens. Book one covers 16 guiding principles that have worked for me for over 20 years of motherhood. I focus on how to raise well-rounded, productive and resilient children in today's world of instant coffee, instant messaging and quite frankly, Instagram. Resilience and Kindness are the top principles I believe will make a difference in our children when it comes to the topic of bullying. As a National Keynote Speaker on Bullying, Teen Depression and Teen Suicide, these books are my way of sharing a lot about what I have learned that could help curb the alarming rates of Bullying, Depression, and Suicide in our young ones. The book also provides easily implementable practical tips for parent engagement with their children. The main theme, however, is leading and teaching by example. I hope you enjoy reading it and come back in the next few weeks for book two and the rest of the series over the next few months... Cheers and Happy reading!
