Abstract
Families are encountering increasing difficulties in receiving information and advice regarding
both typical and atypical development of young children. Primary care paediatricians
should be able to assess and promote early child development and to support
families in adopting best development-related practices and starting, when appropriate,
diagnostic and rehabilitation paths. As shown by a recent survey, current knowledge
and skills of Italian paediatricians are still inadequate to meet these increasingly emerging
needs. Existing European curricula for training of primary care paediatricians in
ECD and developmental paediatrics are presented and discussed and the contents of a
recently developed training course in ECD are described. Communication skills and ability
to liaise with other child professionals and services are key components of the
course. Paediatricians should improve their knowledge and skills about developmental
determinants and factors that may improve the developmental trajectories of children in
order to fully respond to their mission.
