Abstract

Pediatricians have obligations to respond with care to all children's clinical and social vulnerabilities. Finding and addressing causes of children's stress (ie, family separation, child abuse, and trauma) are also obligations. Preventive and rescue interventions should be implemented to address potential short- and long-term harms of toxic stress and their short- and long-term consequences.
