Dr. Poonam Nathu - Neuro-Optometrist

✨Real talk ✨

Wow tonight was fun! Hung out with neighbors, saw my kids interact with families and say trick or treat! It was pure joy and it was fun! 🎃

🤍 Here’s the thing… I did not have the creative energy to organize family costumes, I ordered all these Halloween decorations but didn’t put a single one up.. so after putting the babes to bed, I told my husband that I feel bad for not giving them the full “Halloween experience”

I mean I was sitting there after dinner, scrolling through social and seeing my friends and colleagues pull it all together, that for a moment, and maybe still do, feel like I fell short this year.

My husband checked me real quick! And I see his perspective. The kids had a blast and that’s all that counts.

Wearing many hats at work and the home can be draining and that’s ok! Allowing grace or even choosing not to do things is healthy. I hear that. I see that.

I had a great time tonight with my kiddos but not looking forward to negotiating that one piece of candy a day for a bit lol.

To all those mamas that are warriors at home and bosses at work, or in fact any mama! You’re doing great! And the kids love seeing you enjoy yourself too!

I hope this reaches someone that needs to read this to feel seen!

Back to School Vision Exams! It’s that time! Make sure to get the kids eyes evaluated for any vision related learning problems that can affect their productivity and growth in the classroom!

Found this amazing depiction of the importance of primitive reflex integration!

We are all born with primitive reflexes and through development they are integrated for optimal motor and sensory development.. when they are retained..it can shift development in many ways!

Share with someone you feel this information may help with piecing the puzzle together for their child.

✨ Love our community! Thank you for trusting us with your care! 🙏🏽✨

Perceptual games can be found anywhere! Went to the in St. Louis last weekend and there were so many activities we do in Vision Therapy to work on Visual Perceptual skills! I had way too much fun!

This table he was at reminded me of parquetry blocks!

Is there a Children’s museum/activity center you love to take the little ones too?

👩🏻‍🍼As a mama trying to find balance between work and raising Lil, I find myself feeling pulled toward wanting to be in two places at the same time.

👓When I’m at work, and I have some downtime, I either talk about my son or look at old videos and photos. When I’m at home with him, I always feel like I need to get done so much work stuff done but at the same time try to be present and spend time with him.

Work is really important to me and I love what I do. I love working with kids and being a part of their journey to success. But I also love spending time with my baby. He is in such a fun stage that I feel like when I’m away from him I miss so many good moments.

Find the balance. Be graceful with yourself. Don’t feel guilty for striving for success because they see your hard work and hustle and that’s not a bad thing. 💪🏾I believe that helps them realize what it takes to go after what you want.

This post is equally for me as it is for anyone else out there that needs to hear this. I feel proud to tackle life with women that strive for their dream but at the same time put importance to their family. When I think about all the mamas out there that do much more than I do, I am inspired. You inspire me! ✨

✨Community✨

One of my favorite things about this process is connecting with other Optometrist and health care providers in our community. I personally believe we do not get to connect on a deep enough level but my goal is to team up with these brilliant doctors and help bring our community the specialized care it needs.

This is just the beginning… Let’s get connected! 👓

✨Grateful✨
With so much going on in our lives, I try to slow down and be grateful for all moments and memories we create on this journey.

I started saying three things I’m grateful for every morning! Sometimes they are big, sometimes very small and that’s ok!

🤍 This has been a game changer!! To start your day with a humble heart and full of gratitude helps guide the rest of your day for great things!

Try it. Do it for 1 week and I guarantee you will feel a mindset shift.
