When Children Feel Pain

When Children Feel Pain explores the complex nature of pediatric pain, from minor injuries to chronic and life-threatening conditions. The book emphasizes that children rely on adults for care and comfort, yet pain is often misunderstood or undertreated, leading to short-term suffering and potential long-term chronic pain.
