Pediatricians can play an essential role in fostering self-expression. They can:
1. Observe and Ask: During check-ups, pediatricians can observe a child's behavior and ask open-ended questions to gauge their emotional and psychological well-being. 2. Recommend Resources: Suggest books, activities, or therapies that encourage self-expression. 3. Collaborate with Parents and Schools: Work closely with parents and educators to develop plans that support a child's need for self-expression. 4. Identify Issues Early: Early identification of any barriers to self-expression, such as speech delays or emotional issues, allows for timely intervention.
