Heads Up: Protecting Kids from Concussions
Episode 6
Tuesday, 29 April, 2025
Parents know these panicky moments all too well: a tumble off the couch, a hit on the field, the bonking of heads during a bout of roughhousing. Concussions are more common than many of us realize, and they don’t just happen to athletes.In this episode, we hear from two parents, Casey and Pete, who each faced scary situations when their kids, a toddler and a teen, experienced head injuries. Their stories kick off a larger conversation with Dr. Andrew Reisner, pediatric neurosurgeon and Medical Director of the Concussion Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Dr. Ashley Brouillette, a pediatric sports medicine physician who treats teen athletes and helps guide their recovery.We talk about signs to watch for, why vomiting can be a warning sign and what “treatment” looks like for a concussion. From sports risks to recovery tips, and even when to consider pulling a child from contact sports, this episode offers a clear, calm look at what parents need to know and do when head injuries happen.For more about this episode and our podcast, visit www.choa.org/podcasts.Follow Children’s:Instagram @childrensatlFacebook @ChildrensHealthcareofAtlantaX @childrensatlCreated by Children’s Healthcare of Atlantawww.choa.orgThis podcast is for general informational and educational purposes only.
