PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Developmental and behavioral pediatrics is the foundation that pediatric clinicians rely on in order to understand rapid changes in motor, social, and cognitive competencies and behaviors throughout childhood and adolescence. By applying knowledge about development and behavior at each stage of childhood and adolescence, pediatricians can separate healthy development and behavior variations from a clinical disorder. A critical component to achieving this clinical skill is a precise understanding of normal development and behavior at each developmental stage.
