    Study Notes

    Pediatric Behavior Guidance

    • Childhood is a crucial period of physical, physiological, and emotional growth.
    • Behavior guidance is important in pediatric dentistry for reducing fear and anxiety in patients.
    • Effective communication between patients, parents, and dentists is vital for positive treatment outcomes.
    • The patient-dentist relationship plays a significant role at the start of treatment.

    Emotional Development Stages in Children

    • Sleep Child (0-1 years): Sleep is crucial for development, trust is established. First dentition observed and first control time occurs.
    • Sweet Trouble (2-3 years): Children see the world from their perspective, speak in short phrases (me, no, what?), are afraid of loud noises and strangers.
    • Birth of Logic (3-4 years): Imagination develops, they can state their name, age, and gender, and enjoy compliments on their appearance. Fear of separation from mother is common.
    • Creative & Exaggerating (4-5 years): Personality development, understanding of colors, counting, lying, and exaggerated stories. Afraid of noises, and can be aggressive or stubborn.
    • Big Chatter (5-6 years): Vocabulary expands, and children are proud of their accomplishments. Fear of harm to their bodies may emerge. Separation from parents can be difficult.
    • Peak of Egoism (6-7 years): Children can be both cooperative and rebellious. They enjoy repetition, but reactions can be unpredictable. Fear of bodily harm remains. Treatment sessions over 15-20 minutes may become boring.
    • School (Calm Down) Period (7-9 years): Children are cooperative, good listeners, but tire easily. Indirect explanations are more effective. Unexpected reactions decrease.
    • Self Motivation Period (9-10 years): Children understand concepts like true and false, excel in math, and show improved social skills and cooperation. High energy and desire to learn is noticeable.

    Parent Types

    • Overprotective Family: Children lack decision-making skills, are shy, and compliant.
    • Rejecting Family: Children are insecure, uncooperative, and lacking love. Building trust and rapport is crucial.
    • Extremely Anxious Family: Over-concern leads to child anxiety. Preventing the projection of family worries to the child is essential.
    • Dominant Family: Children may be afraid or anxious. The focus is on calming family anxieties and preventing the transmission of parental anxieties.
    • Identifying Family: Disappointment in children's actions leads to forceful interventions from parents. Collaboration is essential.
    • Negligent Family: Difficulty with appointments and follow-up, challenging to motivate.
    • Offensive Family: Anxiety and distrust, potentially projecting distrust towards the dentist or health system. Communication and understanding are paramount.
    • Constant family intervention can hinder the child-dentist relationship.
    • The child's attention is divided, and the focus shifts between the dentist and family. The focus for the dentist shifts, too.
