    This is an excellent guide to have in your home and use for reference. It covers many topics and is easy to navigate to ensure you find what information you need quickly.

    I wish I had had this book when my children were younger, as it simplifies the often-very-stressful process of determining what, I’d anything, can be done at home and when to sell professional medical help. This should be on the shelf of anyone with kids or, as in my case, grandkids. Thank you!!

  3. JoAnne Shorb (verified owner)

    Absolutely wonderful rejoice for parents and caregivers! Covers basics like colds, when children should be kept at home versus sent to school, basic first aid, bug bite treatments and more!

    Great overview of topics and reference on the shelf. Passing this on to new parents as a resource for everyday and not-so-everyday curiosities.

    This is a fabulous tool that I wish I had when my children were young. I ordered for my daughter who has her first child and is nervous about so many things. When do I call the doc, is this normal, etc. Information is easy to find and the illustrations and flowcharts are so helpful!

    This has been an amazing read and an excellent guide for me to have as we prepare to bring our first little one into the world. There are so many things in there I hadn’t even thought about, and knowing I have this tool has given me such peace of mind! I would recommend for any parent, but especially new parents! Easy to navigate and very informative!

    This book is similar to one I had when my kids were small, full of pretty much everything you need for all first aid scenarios. It helps avoid unnecessary trips to the ED in the middle of the night and helps you really take care of your kiddo.

    This book is so handy! Sometimes we don’t know as parents what to do when your child gets hurt and this helped us figure out the severity of said injury

  35. Lauren Griffin (verified owner)

    This book is a lot different from my expectations. The book is mostly text and a bit overwhelming – the illustrations seem to only be near the end. The flow charts do look like they will be helpful.
