Pediatricians can identify signs of embarrassment through careful observation and communication. Common indicators include:
Reluctance to participate in activities Avoidance of eye contact Changes in behavior, such as becoming more withdrawn or aggressive Verbal cues, like self-deprecating comments
Open-ended questions during consultations can help pediatricians understand the underlying issues. For example, asking about a child's day-to-day experiences or feelings about school can provide insights into their emotional state.
