Wouldn’t a comprehensive kids health guide be awesome to own? How about a guide that covered children ages birth through 10 years old? I don’t know about you all, but parenting is hard enough without having to worry about simple health problems. I have brought my daughter to the ER a couple times in the past and do you know they did? They sent me home and told me to give her Tylenol. Yep, $500 for pretty much nothing. If only I had The A To Z of Children’s Health.
About THE A TO Z OF CHILDREN’S HEALTH: A Parent’s Guide from Birth to 10 Years
An indispensable reference that is sure to become THE go-to health & wellness guide for parents. Every parent/grandparent/caregiver needs a copy of this book to help with the day-to-day issues they will encounter in raising their children from birth to 10 years.
This comprehensive and contemporary guide is written by the pediatric experts at the world-renowned Hospital for Sick Children (Sickkids). It goes without saying that no one understands kids better than these experts. The guide covers over 235 childhood conditions and illnesses in children ages newborn to ten in a friendly yet authoritative manner.
All the illnesses and conditions are arranged alphabetically, making it easy, quick and accessible for parents — for those situations when time really is of the essence! Parents and caregivers will find expert advice on how to cope with everything from common accidents and emergencies like fever and abdominal pain to conditions such as spina bifida, infective endocarditis and shingles. Photos and diagrams are featured throughout so parents can accurately pinpoint what potential condition and/or illness their child may be experiencing.
This book addresses virtually every question a parent might have, and knowing that this kind of help is available, on any topic that may arise, provides the reassurance every caregiver needs and wants.
What I Love
I am pleased with how comprehensive this kids health guide is. It is a book that I now value on my bookshelf and it would make a great gift for new {and even not so new} parents. You will find practical advice, tips and strategies focusing on what parents can do, when they need to seek medical attention, and what to look out for. This part is what I really appreciate. I am not a medical expert so to have this book at my finger tips is such a great resource.
You can find actual cases and real examples in this guide as well as FAQs, full color photos and detailed illustrations. Learn:
- How to deal with allergies, latest recommendations
- When to introduce various foods, etc.
- How to deal with common colds, cough, congestion
- What to do when your baby won’t stop crying
- How to recognize and treat various skin rashes
- When should you be concerned regarding tummy pains, headaches, etc.
- How to handle diarrhea, vomiting, bed-wetting, burns, etc.
Here is a sample chapter on temper tantrums to read.
Doesn’t this guide sound like something you need in your home too?
