In this revised edition there are alterations and additions to the three chapters on breast feeding, with a discussion of infantile colic, rewritten chapters on physical growth, sleep problems, travel problems, the prevention of infection and the prevention of accidents, with completely new chapters on helping a child to achieve its potential and on the controversial matter of child health surveillance. Its 300 new references have been also been added. The author has continued to pay special attention to the recognition of the "normal" and particularly to variations from the normal not amounting to disease, and the reasons for those variations. This has applied particularly to physical growth, physical features, normal development, and all behaviour problems. In addition, during his years of paediatric experience the author recorded all the questions wich mothers asked him in his hospital practice and child health clinics, and in this book has tried to cover all their queries when they did not relate to actual diseases. Thus the book should be useful for family doctors, clinical medical officers, nurses, teachers and others concerned with child health.

Excellent paediatric reference for parents.,

This review is from: Normal Child: Some Problems of the Early Years and Their Treatment (Paperback)
Although intended as a text for paediatric students, the approach and style make this book equally useful for parents who are unafraid of occasional medical terminology. It contains much practical advice on handling the normal problems of infancy and childhood. Parental attitude and behaviour is recognized and discussed, particularly those patterns which reinforce problems. "Normal" does not mean average, but covers a broad range of behaviours and characteristics which are delineated quite well. Chapters are devoted to infant feeding (breast, formula, weaning) and physiology, twins, physical and mental development from the first days to teenage, childhood hazards (disease, accident), and especially to behavioral patterns (wetting, tantrums, anorexia, etc.) and how to help children reach their full potential. My wife and I scoured many large selections of alleged parenting books, and found them wanting - all were to some extent simplistic or irrelevant. "The Normal Child", however, provides more and better practical information than any parenting book we encountered, and in a matter of fact style
