The most important thing in dealing with children is to make them comfortable so that their whole experience becomes playful. It’s hard to fathom the anxiety and fear which a child might have going into a doctor’s office. Equally important is to connect with the family. I firmly believe mothers are the best doctors for their children, so it’s important for the physician to understand and respect this” expressed the doctor.
