Parenting Tips

Not Giving In

Sometimes, as a parent, yielding to your child's desires (e.g., getting in bed with you at 2 a.m., or crying for candy in the grocery store) by saying "yes" is much easier than saying "no." However, holding firm to your standards of discipline, while maintaining consistency by not changing your mind, will prove far easier for both you and your child in the long run.

Remembering Dr. Russell Irons

To All our Quincy Pediatrics Families, Friends, Patients and Colleagues,
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Russell Irons, January 3, 1927-July 28, 2019. Dr. Russell Irons touched the lives of so many people as a beloved physician, father, grandfather, friend, and colleague. Dr. Irons started Quincy Pediatrics in 1971 and provided exceptional care to his patients for over forty-five years. Dr. Irons will be remembered for his compassion, sharp intellect, contagious laugh, and love for his family, friends, colleagues, patients, and Becket/Chimney Corners family. The love and gratitude we all feel for him cannot be expressed in words. The legacy of Dr. Russell Irons will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
