Pediatrics Corner
Father talking to doctor, retrieved from http://www.cdc.gov/
Pediatric health professionals are an integral part of a family's health journey. Whether it be a medical doctor, nurse, or mental health specialist, each can offer advice on how a dad can be more involved in his child's health. Similarly, dads can share examples of what has worked for them and their families. The Pediatrics Corner provides resources that both parties can use to improve the father-child relationship as it relates to health issues.

The research on dads is limited, but growing. Both health professionals and dads can benefit from the available literature to gain insight on what can strengthen the pediatrics-father-child relationship.
