Take a Deep Breath
Take a Deep Breath is a comprehensive, accessible, and indispensable guide for parents, caregivers, teachers, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers on the subject of children’s breathing issues. The book provides a thorough review of breathing issues, differentiating the normal and abnormal for all ages, and at all levels of breathing passages. Take a Deep Breath explains all of the puzzling and oftentimes distressing breathing patterns our children have throughout development. From the uppermost part of the breathing apparatus, the nose, to the lowermost part, the lungs, this book explains which problems are truly worrisome, and which are actually normal stages in a child’s growth. Take a Deep Breath will enable the reader to do just that, take a deep breath, and get a better, clearer understanding about what’s going on when your children breathe in and out. While pediatricians and other healthcare providers have expertise in all aspects of childhood illness, this book sheds new light on the latest research in pediatric breathing issues, sleep issues, and airway safety. Consisting of age-based sections, with location-based and problem-based chapters for each age group, each chapter also provides a ‘to-do’ list, offering successful preventions and treatments that can easily be done at home. About 80 to 90 per cent of children, at one time or another, have breathing problems. Take a Deep Breath will be a welcome, indispensable tool in all households with children. Day care providers, grandparents, babysitters and nannies, and parents’ clubs will all benefit from this book immensely.
