vBright Futures at the American Academy ofPediatrics Founded in 1930, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization of 60,000 pedia- tricians who are committed to the attainment of optimal physical, mental, and social health and well- being for all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. The Bright Futures initiative was launched in 1990 under the leadership of the Federal Mater nal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to impr ove the quality of health services for childr en thr ough health pr omotion and disease prevention. In 2002, the MCHB selected the AAP to lead the Bright Futures initiative. With the encourage- ment and str ong support of the MCHB, the AAP and its many collaborating partners set out to update the BrightFutures Guidelines as a uniform set of r ecommendationsfor health care professionals. The Bright Futures Guidelinesare the cornerstone of the Bright Futures initia- tive and the foundation for the development of all Bright Futures materials. What Is Bright Futures? Bright Futures is a set of principles, strategies, and tools that are theory based, evidence driven, and systems oriented that can be used to improve the health and well-being of all children through culturally appropriate interventions that address their current and emerging health promotion needs at the family, clinical practice, community, health system, and policy levels. Goals of Bright Futur es!Enhance health care professionalsÕ knowledge, skills, and practice of developmentally appropriate health care in the context of family and community. !Promote desired social, developmental, and health outcomes of infants, children, and adolescents. !Foster partnerships between families, health car epro-fessionals, and communities. !Increase family knowledge, skills, and participation in health-promoting and prevention activities. !Address the needs of children and youth with special health car eneeds through enhanced identification and services.For mor einformation about Bright Futures and available materials and r esources, visit http:// brightfutures.aap.org.

ixCore Concepts IntodayÕs complex and changing health care system, health care professionals can improve the way they carry out each visit by using an innovative health promotion curriculum developed specifically to help professionals integrate Bright Futures principles into clinical practice. This unique curriculum, developed by a health promo- tion work group supported by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, includes 6 core concepts: !Partnership!Communication!Health promotion/illness prevention !Time management !Education!AdvocacyAsummary of each of these cor econcepts is pr esent-ed on the following pages to help all professionals, both those in training and experienced practitioners, bring Bright Futur es alive and make it happen for children and families. For more information about this unique health promotion curriculum, visit www.pediatricsinpractice.org. All 6 core concepts rely on the health care profession- alsÕ skills in using open-ended questions to communicate effectively, partner with and educate children and their families, and serve as their advocates to promote health and prevent illness in a time-efficient manner. Open-ended questions !Help to start a conversation !Ask: ÒWhy?Ó ÒHow?Ó ÒWhat?Ó !Are interpretive !Have a wide range of possible answers !Stimulate thinking !Promote pr oblem solving EXAMPLES:¥How do you and your partner manage the babyÕ sbehavior?What do you do when you disagree? ¥(Toachild) Tell me about your favorite activities at school.
