Review:
"The accessible format delivers a concise overview and research summary of each topic, followed by specific examples and practical educational strategies." (Katy Olweiler, Counselor 2009-08-18)
"Outstanding on multiple levels. It is a quick read for busy pre-practitioners and practitioners who are increasingly in need of accurate and current information regarding children′s health issues. The book also presents thought-provoking questions for professional growth or group discussions. The handouts afford the reader a unique mechanism for sharing the book′s contents with parents and colleagues." (Doris Paez, Associate Director, Forsyth Futures 2009-09-24)
"Addresses a number of childhood health issues (e.g., ear infections, HIV) and their implications for education. The book provides fascinating coverage of currently debated topics such as sleep problems, obesity, Lyme disease, and vaccination. The vaccination chapter alone would make this book worthwhile: The discussion about whether or not to vaccinate children makes compelling reading as it leads us through the facts and myths surrounding those decisions." (John E. Desrochers, Editor, Communique 2009-10-06)
