The days when doctors took sole responsibility for treating illness in children have gone. Parents are now increasingly involved as partners with doctors and nurses in looking after the health of their children.
The authors of Your Child's Health believe the doctor and parent should work as a team, to empower each other to provide the best possible health for the child. The child is also an important part of this team and his cooperation will come from understanding and patience.
As practising doctors with many years of experience in caring for children and talking to parents, the authors know how hungry parents are for timely information and advice. Realising there hadn’t been an authoritative, accurate guide to child health written specifically for Australian parents, their purpose in writing this book was to make available to parents reliable, accurate, accessible and current information on child health, which is relevant to the Australian setting.
