Children's Health, Small and Not So Small. A Guide for Parents of Children Aged 0 to 16

This book is not only about infectious and somatic childhood diseases but also about complex somatoform disorders, anxiety and burnout in parents, eating disorders in children, urinary and fecal incontinence... In short, the author places a strong emphasis on "functional" diseases. The book will shed light on conditions that cannot be treated with just one course of pills or surgery but require lifestyle changes, support for the child and family, behavioral interventions, learning to accept uncertainty, creating a clear action plan for the family, and a realistic prognosis.
