Tell Me Where It Hurts: How to Decipher Your Child's Emotional Aches and Physical Pains
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Child: Mommy, I don't feel so good.
Mother: What's wrong, honey?
Child: I don't know, I just don't feel so good.
As a parent, you know the fear and frustration you feel when your child is sick, especially when the doctor can't diagnose anything specifically wrong. Yet, rather than go from doctor to doctor for second and third opinions and possibly administer medication that may not even be necessary, you need to refer to Tell Me Where It Hurts to help you determine whether your child's problem is physical, psychological, emotional, a combination of all three-or perhaps one factor leading to the other.
Authors Jonathan Slater, M.D., and Mark Fuerst have produced a groundbreaking book that, for the first time, helps concerned parents unravel the complex symptoms and complaints they hear all the time from their kids-and know how to distinguish the benign from the chronic and serious.
Tell Me Where It Hurts helps get to the root of such health issues as:
-Depression
-Fears
-Headaches
-Joint pain
-Sleep disorders
-Stomachaches
-Stress
This invaluable work also presents the latest research on myriad treatment options, from traditional medicine to alternative therapies. Filled with invaluable charts and action plans to guide you along, Tell Me Where It Hurts is your Rosetta stone to decoding your child's symptoms.
