The characteristic wheeze and prolonged duration of illness can be distressing for parents, who may lack the practical knowledge of how to effectively implement supportive care. When the mainstay of treatment is supportive care without any single curative intervention, you need to be able to discuss the etiology, management, and anticipatory guidance on a level that the parents can understand. This episode introduces the idea of capacity-building family-centered care and takes a granular, detailed approach to improving family understanding...
