Child health is different from adult health and medicine. Infants and children not only have smaller bodies, but they are physiologically different from adults. Unique differences mean they need to be treated differently. Additionally, doctors must be aware of the legalities of treating children. When children cannot make decisions themselves, pediatricians will carefully consider privacy, informed consent, and other issues involving minors during assessments and treatments.
