About this title

Synopsis

Children are often thought of as 'little adults', but they are very different. Their anatomy, physiology, and emotional responses are not the same as those of adults. In particular, their responses to illness and injury are quite different. Children get sick quickly, but with proper care, they get better quickly too. For adults who care for children, this can be very threatening. "Care of Sick Children" is ideal for parents, teachers, childcare workers, and others who are responsible for the care of children. They will find it invaluable in providing fundamental advice for carers on a wide range of childhood health problems. Written in a clear, non-technical style, this book provides essential information on common illnesses and injuries.
