Abstract
The aim of this article is to highlight the significance of actively involving young children in their own healthcare and paediatric healthcare planning. Based on a study conducted in a hospital setting, which revealed a lack of personalized care and inadequate understanding among younger children, this article discusses the potential benefits of empowering young patients. The theoretical framework explores various dimensions, including child-centred care, communication strategies, child development, and the impact of involving children in decision-making processes. By fostering children’s participation and creating a safe environment, healthcare professionals can enhance the overall quality of care and promote positive health outcomes for young patients.
