Product Description

Written for all practitioners working directly with children in a wide range of childcare settings, as well as students working towards their level 3 qualifications, the book aims to promote a balanced approach to child health. Looking closely at key factors in promoting and maintaining health, managing common illness and chronic illness, understanding disability, emotional and mental health and current issues in child health such as immunization, autism and eating disorders, the book should help practitioners to carry out simple health related tasks, as well as understand more complex issues relating to health and illness. The book also aims to help practitioners to understand the role of health professionals and know when and how to contact them, pass on sound advice to parents and to understand cultural issues and perspectives on health.
