Take a Deep Breath is a comprehensive, accessible, and
indispensible guide for parents, caregivers, teachers,
pediatricians, and other healthcare providers on the subject
of children s breathing issues. The book provides a thorough
review of breathing issues, differentiating the normal and
abnormal for all ages, and at all levels of breathing
passages. Take a Deep Breath explains all of the puzzling
and oftentimes distressing breathing patterns our children
have throughout development.
From the uppermost part of the breathing apparatus, the
nose, to the lowermost part, the lungs, this book explains
which problems are truly worrisome, and which are actually
normal stages in a child s growth. Take a Deep Breath will
enable the reader to do just that, take a deep breath, and
get a better, clearer understanding about what s going on
when your children breathe in and out. While pediatricians
and other healthcare providers have expertise in all aspects
of childhood illness, this book sheds new light on the
latest research in pediatric breathing issues, sleep issues,
and airway safety. Consisting of age-based sections, with
location-based and problem-based chapters for each age
group, each chapter also provides a 'to-do' list, offering
successful preventions and treatments that can easily be
done at home.
About 80 to 90% of children, at one time or another, have
breathing problems. Take a Deep Breath will be a welcome,
indispensible tool in all households with children. Day care
providers, grandparents, babysitters and nannies, and
parents clubs will all benefit from this book immensely.
