But in a world where children as young as ten are being diagnosed with early signs of heart disease, where up to a third of yound children at an infant school maybe taking Ritalin, a drug that has been banned in Sweden, and where computers, not dogs, are a child's best friend, how do you get it right? In this book, award-winning Sunday Times journalist and health writer Susan Clark draws upon her experience and scientific research to offer every parent the opportunity to make sound, confident decisions that should benefit their children's health now and in the future.

She also aims to unravel the complex and often contradictory information that appears in the media, she details the key stages of development, from newborn to young adulthood, and provides parents with an easy-to-follow A-Z guide on how to treat over 50 everyday complaints. Offering practical advice and essential information, this book provides a useful health guide for parents.
