Reviews

Going one step beyond the diagnosis charts in Robert H. Pantell & others' Taking Charge of Your Child: A Parent's Guide to Medical Care (Addison-Wesley, 1990, 3d ed.), the forthrightly opinionated Wootan is joined by Verney, a mother of three, in instructing parents on how to conduct the actual physical exam. Creating a healthy physical and emotional environment, treating common childhood problems, and interacting with the family's physician are other concerns addressed in this how-to pediatrics textbook. A checklist summarizes the major points of each chapter, and footnotes to the scientific literature are provided. The authors' opinions often differ from commonly accepted beliefs--e.g., they recommend providing a family bed and avoiding solid foods until the child is eight months old--but they make these differences clear. Parents who are willing to weigh options and take responsibility for their children's well-being will find this a convenient, readable, if occasionally controversial guide. Recommended for both lay readers and specialists.
