About this title

Synopsis

Parents aren’t always told about side effects medications can have on their children or given appropriate non-medicinal treatment approaches. This book discusses 10 important facts parents should know before medicating their child. Scientific evidence for each fact is presented along with every day analogies to make the information more accessible. This book is not intended to take the place of medical advice; however, it brings up pertinent questions parents can discuss with their children’s health care providers. In addition, several non-medicinal strategies for helping children succeed are highlighted. A recommended reading list and resource page are included for further information.
