It will assist clinicians to bring forward the perspectives and values of the child, ensuring their preferences are incorporated into decision-making or appropriately justified when this is not possible. This is to both improve healthcare delivery and serve the best interests of children— now and as decision-makers in the future.This book reviews theories underpinning the concept of deciding with children and explores how pediatric decision-making is standardly managed. It then proposes a model for making healthcare decisions with children. A panel of experienced clinicians and ethicists demonstrate, via a series of case studies, how to promote children’s participation across a variety of clinical areas, child ages, and developmental stages. It concludes with a review of questions, concerns, and challenges. Deciding with Children in Pediatrics: Children’s Participation in Healthcare Decision-making helps bridge the gap between philosophy and practical clinical ethics and creates a frame of reference for children’s healthcare providers.
