What role do healthcare providers play in meeting the emotional needs of children?
Healthcare providers, including pediatricians and child psychologists, play a critical role by:
1. Screening for Emotional Issues: Regular check-ups should include assessments of emotional and behavioral health. 2. Providing Education: Educate parents about the importance of emotional health and ways to nurture it. 3. Offering Resources: Guide families to support services such as counseling, support groups, or educational materials. 4. Creating a Trusting Environment: Build a rapport with the child to make them feel comfortable discussing their feelings.
