Description: The American Medical Association has created the most comprehensive one-volume guide to children's health ever available to address the needs of children from infancy through adolescence. It is really several books in one. Childcare advice guides parents through diapering, feeding, and caring for the newborn, all the way to meeting the challenges of teenagers' health. A medical encyclopedia covers the most common childhood ailments and disorders. A full-color atlas of the human body illustrates each body system. A collection of over twenty symptom charts helps parents determine what the problem is and whether to self-treat, see the doctor, or seek emergency help. A first-aid and emergency-care primer offers clear instructions for red-alert situations. Over 350 drawings and charts illustrate common procedures and child-care techniques. A full-color diagnostic skin-rash chart will help parents decide whether it's chicken pox or heat rash. Growth charts, immunization schedules, home child-proofing guides, guidelines for nutrition for the growing child, finding the right child care, and much, much more make this indispensable one-stop shopping for every concerned parent.
