There’s little doubt that parenting can be one of the most
rewarding and satisfying experiences you’ll ever have. But
it can be plenty tough, too: Around the clock, you’re
working to keep your little one healthy, teach her the
difference between right and wrong, and make sure none of
her little fingers find their way to the electrical outlets,
the dog’s nose, or grandpop’s cup of coffee. In YOU:
Raising Your Child, Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen,
the New York Times #1 bestselling authors of the YOU
health series, help you navigate the often tricky journey of
parenting with the ultimate guide to raising a happy,
healthy child.
Dr. Mehmet Oz—host of television’s The
Dr. Oz Show—and Dr. Michael Roizen—chief wellness
officer and chair of the Wellness Institute of the Cleveland
Clinic—have sold millions of books informing readers about
healthy dieting, aging, and overall health. Picking up where
their prior book, YOU: Having a Baby, left off, the
docs provide oh-wow information and insider advice to help
parents understand the biology and psychology of raising a
child from birth to school age.
With humor and
cutting-edge biological insights, the authors address
everything from troubleshooting infant health issues to
creating an environment that supports the emotional and
intellectual development of your growing child. They talk
about the various approaches to parenting—are you a
Marshmallow Mommy or an Iron Maiden, passive or
hyperinvolved? The docs help you identify your style of
parenting, encouraging passive parents to create clear
boundaries and hypervigilant ones to step back more often
and let their kids develop. You will learn to become the
ideal parent: firm but flexible. The docs also provide an
extensive overview of nuts-and-bolts health problems— from
asthma to fevers to emergency room visits and the sensitive
issue of vaccinations.
In YOU: Raising Your Child,
America’s most trusted doctors, who co-host a daily
Sirius/XM radio program for Oprah Radio, once again come to
the rescue with wisdom about how to provide an enriching
environment with the ultimate goal of raising a child with a
healthy body—and mind. As the docs say in their
introduction: “Our goal is to teach you how to create the
optimal environment for your child—an environment that’s
most conducive to your child thriving in all areas of life,
physically, emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Why?
Because the latest research shows us that the environment—as
defined not only by physical space but also by the behaviors
of parents and caregivers—is the number-one determinant of
your child’s future.”
