title: Management behaviors: day-to-day adjustments to childhood chronic conditions.
abstract: To understand how families who have children with chronic conditions make daily adjustments to accommodate the children's special needs, the concept of management behaviors is explored. On a theoretical level, the adjustments are linked to an emerging conceptual model, family management style (FMS). As such, the management behaviors component of the FMS model is highlighted and developed to guide further clinical exploration and research.
