Summary

Drawing from the collective wisdom of pediatric experts at Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic Guide to Raising a Healthy Child addresses key questions and concerns many parents have about the preschool and school-age years. In this book, parents learn what to expect in the lively, wonder-filled time between ages 3 and 11. They'll find answers to family dilemmas such as feeding a picky eater, resolving sleep problems, addressing bullying, treating common injuries and illnesses, and coping with complex health care needs. Experts discuss what it takes to prepare a child for a rich and meaningful adult experience. It's no secret that parenting is rarely a straightforward path and that it can be challenging at times, but anyone can be a good parent. This book is intended to be a companion manual for navigating those early to middle childhood years, offering encouragement and trusted advice from some of the best experts around, and helping your family find success.
