In her TEDx talk, Dr. Nguyen discusses the changing parental role as children evolve from young adults to adults. Parents need to evolve as well, alongside their children, to strengthen this new phase in their relationship. She shares tools she learned along her journey as a pediatrician and parent of two young adults. Dr. Nguyen is the Chair of Pediatrics at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) and has practiced pediatrics for 25 years. She is passionate about whole-person wellness (mind, body and spirit). She helps engage and empower young adults and the adults in their lives best support them. Dr. Nguyen helps young adults and their supporters launch them into adulthood with confidence and resilience. She frequently contributes her pediatric and wellness expertise on television news (NBC Nightly News, WBFF Fox 45, WBAL TV 11, WMAR 2 TV) and in print media (CNN, NPR, Baltimore Sun). Dr. Nguyen has been recognized by her peers as a Top Doctor in Baltimore Magazine for many years. She received a Women of Impact Leadership Award from her institution, GBMC, in 2023. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
