What are the benefits of honesty for the child’s long-term health?
Honesty in pediatric care can lead to better long-term health outcomes by ensuring that children and their families are well-informed and engaged in the treatment process. It fosters a proactive approach to health, encourages adherence to medical advice, and helps in early detection and management of health issues.
