Interdisciplinary Collaboration One of the cornerstones of holistic pediatric care is interdisciplinary collaboration. Pediatricians often work with a team of healthcare providers, including nurses, nutritionists, mental health professionals, and social workers, to offer a well-rounded care plan.
Parental Involvement Parents play a critical role in the holistic care model. Educating parents about various aspects of their child's health can empower them to make informed decisions. This might include guidance on nutrition, exercise, and mental wellness strategies.
Patient-Centered Care Focusing on patient-centered care means that the child’s needs and preferences are at the forefront of any treatment plan. This involves active listening, empathy, and engaging the child in their own healthcare decisions whenever possible.
