Conscious Parenting in The Age of Columbine

My guest feels that he has a tremendous responsibility to children and their families. The practice of pediatrics has made him a better person. Parents seek medical care and trusted counsel from a respected health care provider with the following abilities—to listen, to diagnose, to provide care, to empathize, to be trusted, to prescribe, to recommend, and to treat their patients like one of their own. While pediatricians do not use holy water in their interactions, they do invest an incredible amount of professional experience and emotional energy as they engage in a partnership with their families. My patients effectively become my children, he says. Years later when these children grow up and have their own children, pediatricians have the real privilege of seeing and often caring for this next generation.
