As parents, you are very worried about your child’s health. It is like a full-time job taking care of their growth, well being and cherish the moments.
If you have a very small toddler at home, is it possible for the child to express his/her needs and discomforts to you? It is the job of the parents to know and understand the pulse of the child. If and when you figure out that your child is feeling any kind of discomfort, who do you think you can take your child to?
Hope that you got the right guess.

Child-Parent-Doctor Relationship
A lot of care and love has to be given to a child to treat their health instead of just giving them medications. You know your child is scared of injections, it is the pediatrician who has to have the presence of mind and patience to manage the child to give the right medication if needed in a right way. If a pediatrician has to discuss a medical condition he/she has to go through a series of meetings with the parents to explain and make them understand. Not all the children are chatterboxes, and some are really hard to communicate. It is their responsibility to understand the mental and physical conditions of your child.
It is also necessary that the pediatrician has a good rapport with the parents of the child.
