This book is about children and the appropriate participation of sports at different age levels. Moreover, it addresses the problems of children with various disabilities, such as asthma, diabetes, etc. for parents and school coaches, to enable them to make decisions regarding their childrens' participation in sports. I believe this is an important and remarkable book that
Dr. Small has made available for those people who are concerned about the well-being of their children

Dr. Small has covered all bases in this extremely informative, well layed-out book.
His outlines, questions and answers, and diagrams provide a clear cut guide for parents. As a physical therapist that treats adults and children, I am often faced with the same questions Dr. Small has answered in his book. Besides being a great guide for parents, it is an excellent reference for rehab professionals, coaches and any other professionals who work with kids' sports.

This is a vaulable book for any person involved in children's sports. My children will be both safer and better athletes as a result of my reading this book. In addition, although Dr. Small is obviously a highly trained physician, the book is written in s a very user friendly style and highly acccessible to a layman.
I think that this is a great book for people involved with childrens' sports.

Dr. Small does a wonderful job of spelling out how to keep your kids healthy. His practical tips are ones that every parent should know--particularly ones dealing with the prevention of sports injuries, which is his expertise.

This was a textbook for a course I was taking in college. It is an easy read though does not have much depth in the topics it discussed. Delivery was fast. Condition was as expected, not great but good for an ex-library book. I like the idea of recycling old library books - it was totally cool to use a book from the Queens Borough library in California.
