How Can Pediatricians Support Emotional Regulation?
Pediatricians play a crucial role in supporting emotional regulation by:
1. Screening and Assessment: Regularly screening for emotional and behavioral issues during well-child visits can help identify children who may need additional support. 2. Parental Guidance: Offering guidance and resources to parents on how to foster emotional regulation at home. 3. Referrals: Referring families to mental health professionals such as child psychologists or counselors when necessary.
