Giving Your Child Medication . . . Safely: A Practical Handbook for Parents

GIVING YOUR CHILD MEDICATION . . . SAFELY is best described by its sub-title: A practical handbook for parents. For that is what it is. It is practical, written in a conversational style, without medical jargon or heavy scientific terms. It is a handbook - a volume to be referred to whenever there is any questions about medication or your child: what the prescription is, how to administer it, how to position the child most effectively without too much trauma, and even a discussion of the psychological and emotional aspects of administering these therapeutic agents. Pleasant and easy reading and clearly-explained management of medication for your child, backed by years of actual experience, make this book a valuable addition to your medicine cabinet.
