 In a new report, the AAP reminds parents that children, when cognitively able, should be involved in decisions about their own care. It's not just for the big decisions, either. Smaller decisions can have a big impact over time and can help in their understanding of their condition and treatments, reduce fear, and enhance self-confidence.
