Children—they aren't just miniature adults. Children's perceptions of pediatric nursing care have not been systematically taken into account in the development of the quality of care. Their bodies function differently, absorb medications differently, and process thoughts differently. Starting a normal healthcare regimen early in life enables children to become healthy adults. Nurses, no matter where they work, come into contact with children. It's important to know that children require special handling. Developing trust is key when trying to gain the pediatric patient's cooperation. Understanding the differences in children is important to care for them safely. The family should be included in the child's care, and parent concerns should be taken seriously. Parents can be a valuable tool in assessing and caring for pediatric patients. With the correct knowledge and attitude, treating children and their families can be a wonderful experience.
