Pediatric Chronic Diseases-Stealing Childhood

Jody W. Zylke, MD; D. DeAngelis, MD, MPH

JAMA. 2007;297:2765-2766.

It is easy to romanticize childhood, especially in the middle of summer.

Memories of lazy days at the beach, playing baseball or double Dutch with

friends, catching lightning bugs in a jar and hopefully remembering to let

them go, and having no concerns about bills to pay or time pressures or

health problems. Perhaps childhood still is that way for some children, but

for those with a chronic illness, life can be complicated and difficult. A

child with asthma may need to take daily medication, an obese youngster may

endure taunts or stares, a child with cancer may be hospitalized for

extended periods of time, and concerns about bills and time and health are

very real, at least for their parents.

Peace be with you,

Pattie
