Synopsis

This book is an A to Z guide for illness and wellness. It is the handbook that every parent should have, and is essential not only for the parents, but also teachers, daycare providers and anyone caring for children. It combines advice from the authors' traditional, western medicine training as MDs with information for practicing a more holistic approach to children's health. By embracing a fuller spectrum of health care options, the authors have discovered that not only can some natural treatments be curative, but also preventative.Each common ailment listed in the book is covered in detail with a lengthy description, list of potential causes, expected course of the illness, information on its contagiousness, home care, prevention, homeopathic remedies and information on when to call a health-care provider.The book is written by esteemed pediatricians, packed with useful information, colorful and well-designed, and handy to use for parents and child-care workers because it will lay flat, and because it is visible on book shelves because of the opposite spine.Whether as a treating pediatrician, a concerned parent, or simply a curious individual, this book is a most valuable resource for practically everyone. The book is easy to read, easy to reference, and will be the most fundamental tool in anyone's personal "doctor's bag".
