Description
Medical Parenting is the essential guide for parents to take control of their child's health, from choosing a pediatrician to helping children transition into adulthood.
As one of America's Top Doctors (TM), a mother of two grown children, and a physician and surgeon with over 25 years' experience, Dr. Jones understands that there is no greater responsibility as a parent than ensuring your child's optimum health. With so much information out there, it can be hard to navigate the medical system. Medical Parenting walks parents through a myriad of scenarios involving children's health, from choosing that first pediatrician to chronic illness and surgery to nutrition and binge drinking in teenagers, so parents feel confident in their decisions and learn self-care along the way. More than just a medical system how-to, Medical Parenting is told from a physician and mother's perspective to include heartfelt stories from Dr. Jones' own journey of self-discovery. Dr. Jones helps parents connect with their children on a personal level as they grow towards adulthood and find their way through the maze of the medical system today.
