As a parent, you play a central role in managing your child's wellbeing. When Your Child Is Sick will empower you to know what is normal when it comes to your child's health and when you really do need to seek medical advice.

This book is built around these core childhood ailments, which you will encounter as your child grows. It will help you identify what's wrong and give you the confidence to treat common complaints with common sense in the home.

Up to date with information and advice on the latest challenges young people face, there are sections on problems in early adolescence, the rise in allergies and the ongoing surge in obesity.

When Your Child Is Sick is the essential health guide every parent and carer needs.
