Trusted Pediatric Guidance for Norwalk Families

Norwalk families are smart, busy, and stretched. Most of the parents I talk with are working full-time, raising school-age kids, and trying to get good pediatric guidance in the cracks of their week. The Script Pack and weekly videos are built for exactly that life: practical help in the cracks of your week.

The questions I hear from Norwalk parents are practical. How do I get my third grader at Edmondson or Glazier to stop melting down over homework. My middle schooler at Hutchinson is glued to a phone, what is reasonable. My fifteen-year-old is anxious and I am not sure if it is normal. These are the right questions to bring to a pediatrician who has spent four decades watching what works in real families.

Norwalk is also a community where many families speak two or three languages at home. That is a strength in raising emotionally aware kids, and I love working with bilingual and multilingual families because the conversations tend to be richer. Whatever language you parent in, the principles of warmth, clear limits, and listening apply.

I am board-certified in pediatrics and neonatology, completed my fellowship at UCLA, and have been recognized with the Patient's Choice Award and named one of America's Best Doctors. What matters more than any plaque is whether your child is sleeping a little better, fighting a little less, or simply feeling more understood after we talk.

The free scripts and weekly videos are a practical fit for Norwalk life. No drive on the 5 or the 605. No childcare arrangements just to ask a question. Thirty minutes from your kitchen, scheduled in your timezone, paid securely. Most families are surprised at how much ground we cover.

Schools and neighborhoods we hear from

I have cared for Norwalk kids attending NLMUSD schools across the city, including Edmondson, Glazier, Sanchez, Hutchinson Middle, Corvallis Middle, La Mirada High, and Norwalk High, as well as families with college students at Cerritos College. The classroom changes. The home conversation is similar.

How to get the most from the resources

Most parents arrive with a knot in their stomach, not a clean list of questions. That is fine. Jotting down a few notes before you dig in helps you focus on what matters most. Many families bring:

  • A clear description of what you are seeing
  • When the behavior or worry started
  • How your child sleeps, eats, and plays
  • Anything school staff have observed
  • What you have already tried at home

How to start with the free resources

Enter your email and the free Script Pack arrives within minutes. From there, the YouTube channel has hundreds of short videos organized by topic. The book covers every stage in depth. All of it is accessible from Norwalk, at no cost, at any time.

Most of my Norwalk families are not in an emergency. They are good parents who want a calm, experienced second opinion. The book is the fastest way to get one.

Norwalk families ask

Do I have to be in Norwalk to book a consultation?
No. The 30-minute video consultation works from anywhere with a stable internet connection. Most Norwalk families join from home, but parents have booked from across California, the United States, and several other countries.
Is the consultation a replacement for our regular pediatrician in Norwalk?
No. The online consultation is for thoughtful, non-emergency parenting and developmental questions: behavior, sleep, anxiety, discipline, transitions, and similar concerns. Continue seeing your local pediatrician in Norwalk for routine well-child visits, vaccines, and acute medical needs.
Does Dr. Solomon speak Spanish or Arabic with families in Norwalk?
Yes. Dr. Solomon Laktineh has cared for Norwalk families in English, Spanish, and Arabic for 40 years. You can request your preferred language when you book.
How quickly can a Norwalk family get an appointment?
Most consultations are available within a few days. You will see open 30-minute slots in your timezone the moment you start the booking flow, and you can pick whichever time fits your week.
