Thereโs little doubt that parenting can be one of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences youโll ever have. But it can be plenty tough, too: Around the clock, youโre 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 dogโs nose, or grandpopโs 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 Ozโhost of televisionโs The Dr. Oz Showโand Dr. Michael Roizenโchief wellness officer and chair of the Wellness Institute of the Cleveland Clinicโhave 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 parentingโare 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 problemsโ from asthma to fevers to emergency room visits and the sensitive issue of vaccinations.
In YOU: Raising Your Child, Americaโs 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 bodyโand mind. As the docs say in their introduction: โOur goal is to teach you how to create the optimal environment for your childโan environment thatโs 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 environmentโas defined not only by physical space but also by the behaviors of parents and caregiversโis the number-one determinant of your childโs future.โ
