Pediatricians are making sure that their offices are cleaned at night, decontaminated and trying to have physical distancing even in the office. Practices are not using waiting rooms much -- [some] practices are having you wait in the car and then come in once they’re ready to put you into a room.Their routines have been disrupted. Their lives have been disrupted, so the anxiety and the depression [may] be there because they’re missing out, teenagers especially, on the big events in their lives.
"We’re very concerned about that and that’s why we feel like parents need to get their children to pediatricians and get those appointments, whether it be virtual or in-person, but we need to be able to have that conversation with them about how they’re doing."For younger children, it’s really asking them what they know and what they’re scared about and then reassuring them that you’re going to do everything you can to make sure they stay safe.
