Synopsis:

A completely revised and updated edition of the best-selling guide to keeping your children healthy This award-winning book gives parents clear, practical advice on feeding, medicines, doctor visits, discipline, and all the other aspects of raising a healthy child. Based on the authors' many years of experience and updated with the most recent research and recommendations, the guide discusses common medical problems, as well as emotional issues such as new siblings and school challenges. The authors even provide forms for medical, growth, and immunization records. And unlike other children's health books, this comprehensive guide is useful from birth through a child's adolescence. Taking Care of Your Child is easy to use, even in a crisis. Simply look up a symptom, and you find a complete explanation of probable causes, how serious they are, and how you might quickly relieve your child's problem at home. Easy-to-follow decision charts show parents exactly when to take a child to see a doctor. This book covers more than 100 common complaints - injuries and allergies, childhood diseases - with especially clear advice on handling emergencies.
