social pediatrics
A whole-family and whole-community approach to child medical problems and prevention.

Doctors and nurses are introduced to children first as playmates, not as supervisors, increasing their trust and likelihood that key information about the sources of their medical issues will be revealed and accurately integrated into their medical needs.
