Children's Health Volume 2 Ewa Gierula

The Book Healthy Children

The book Healthy Children is the testimony of a mother who proves that her child's health primarily depends on the parents - on their awareness, their decisions, and their actions. On the one hand, the book is a challenge - an encouragement to seek knowledge, to revise existing beliefs, and to change behaviors; on the other hand, it is constructive advice and comfort: it proves that parents are not helpless in the face of their child's illness, that it is primarily they and not the doctors who have the power to make a difference.

Independence and personal responsibility - an attitude the author encourages us to adopt - are a source of energy and joy and a prerequisite for effective prevention and treatment. I recommend this reading to all those who have children in their care, as a guide that should be found in every family.
