The foundational principles of medicine have focused on the tenets of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. These tenets inevitably focus on two overarching themes: do no harm and improve the livelihood of patients. For pediatric patients, these tenets and principles remain the same but require unique considerations as pediatric patients do not have the same agency or power as that of adults. Parents, guardians, and caretakers serve as the primary representative that healthcare providers will encounter in their aims to treat pediatric patients. Thus, it is important to maintain mutual trust between parent and provider as well as mutually ensure patient advocacy to address, recognize, and treat children. Once mutual respect, communication, and advocacy are appropriately and mutually instituted by both parents and providers, pediatric patient care will flourish under the foundational principles of medicine.
