Families play a pivotal role in the engagement process. They are often the primary caregivers and have the most interaction with the child. Their involvement can significantly influence the child’s health behavior and adherence to treatment plans. Families can support engagement by:
Providing Accurate Information: Sharing detailed and accurate health histories and current symptoms with healthcare providers. Asking Questions: Engaging in conversations with healthcare providers to clarify doubts and understand treatment plans. Adhering to Medical Advice: Following prescribed treatment plans and attending scheduled appointments. Advocating for the Child: Ensuring that the child’s needs and preferences are represented in medical decisions.
