Author: Dr. Gopakumar Hariharan

Dr. Gopakumar Hariharan Welcome to my child health and Coaching blog site – Ripplesfrompebbles.org As an Australia-based child health specialist (paediatrician and Neonatologist), I’ve noticed a recurring challenge in clinical practice: finding practical, easily accessible information to support families and caregivers in managing child health. This blog is my response to that gap, aimed at providing parents and healthcare practitioners with actionable insights and resources. My areas of expertise are in general paediatric care and expertise in newborns and child development, and my passion for these fields has only grown over the years. I hope to share my knowledge and experiences through this platform, focusing on children’s well-being, neuro-behavioural conditions, and practical strategies for managing common paediatric challenges. Additionally, I’m expanding my practice into coaching, which can add significant value, particularly in supporting families dealing with neuro-behavioural conditions. As I continue to pursue training and development in this area, I’ll share relevant insights with you here on the blog. I will also post pertinent materials related to personal growth.
