Children who have sustained a brain injury should receive specialized, coordinated, family-centered care from their primary care providers. By knowing more about the etiology, assessment, associated conditions, and prevention of pediatric TBI, medical providers can better address the multiple needs of the child and family as they cope with new challenges. The management of pediatric brain injury can be complex and time consuming, but we must all be responsive to the needs of these children and their families to ensure their good health, their welfare, and their happiness.
