All parents wish for their children to be healthy and happy. However, they often feel uncertain about what is best for their child and have many questions:

How can serious illnesses be recognized? What is the best child-friendly treatment, and in which cases can parents take action themselves? When are gentle healing methods appropriate, and when is conventional medicine more effective? How can first aid be provided, and what questions are important regarding vaccinations? How can infants and toddlers be nourished healthily, and how can food allergies be identified? What care is essential, how can sleep problems be resolved, and which beds and car seats are recommended?

Pediatricians Dr. Gisela Brehmer and Dr. Barbara Beland compassionately provide practical answers to the questions frequently asked by the parents of their young patients, incorporating gentle healing methods. An easily understandable introduction to the emotional and mental development of children from infancy to school age helps parents better understand their children's behavior and respond calmly.

A book that is essential for every family. Recommended by midwives. The bestseller is now fully updated and expanded.
