Pediatric Pitfalls with Parents
With new technologies come new challenges. When children are coming in for care and parents are texting or surfing the Internet on their handheld phones they are unable to appropriately participate in their child's welfare. Unfortunately I see this most often in parents with children suffering from behavioral problems. One aspect may be lack of focused attention from the parent. They typically look up briefly when asked a question and say "Huh? or Yeah, ok." quite often.
What we love: parents who are focused and even bring in paper to take notes. This ensures the parents will follow through appropriately with lifestyle and dietary changes that could significantly enhance the child's health. Sorry Dads, but in my experience Mother's tend to be more focused and detailed oriented when accompanying the child during their visits.
