Building trust with pediatric patients involves a combination of effective communication, empathy, and consistency. Here are some strategies:
Active Listening: Pay attention to the child’s concerns and validate their feelings. Age-Appropriate Explanations: Use language and concepts suitable for the child’s developmental stage to explain medical procedures or conditions. Consistency: Regular follow-ups and a consistent presence can make children feel more secure. Empathy: Show genuine concern and understanding for the child's worries and experiences.
