Description: There is finally an intelligent childhood
health journal to help busy parents feel more confident managing
their child's health and wellness. Your Child's Health &
Wellness Record and the companion Document Organizer were
created by a health professional who has three children who have
had various health issues, one with a learning disability. Input
was provided by many physicians, medical specialists, other
health and wellness professionals, and parents, including those
whose children have complex health issues. The result is a
health journal for every child ... from pregnancy on!
Jackie's
Review: This amazing book and organizer is a must have
for any parent. Upon receiving the organizer and record book
today, my first impression was positive. I was impressed
with the high-quality materials used and of the simply
breathtaking photographs. As I looked deeply into both books, I
was soon equally impressed with the depth of content. There is a
place for virtually everything a parent needs! The wellness
record is full of useful information, tips and space to record
important information from doctor's wellness visits to specialty
appointments to hospitalizations. As every parent knows, you
need to access certain information throughout your child's
lifespan. Even at my children's ages (10, 12 and 13), I am
constantly pulling out developmental information (milestones),
immunization records, hospitalization information, physician and
specialist contact information, and emergency contact
information. Had there been such a wonderful resource as this
during the early years of my children's lives, we would surely
have saved a lot of valuable time that we used searching through
unorganized files that have grown into boxes full of
miscellaneous paper over the years. Karen Melnick has done an
amazing job at capturing a parent's need for organization.
Whether your child is typically developing or has special needs,
these two items will be a welcome, time-saving addition to your
home. |
