My boys go to a children’s clinic with about a half dozen pediatricians.  The office is open every single day of the year including weekends and holidays, which is a definite bonus when you have a sick child and need medical attention right away.

One of the fabulous pediatricans there, Dr. Jeff Weisbrot, has written a book called “Should I worry? Pediatric Tips for Parents” that I think is a fantastic addition to any parent’s library.

Dr. Weisbrot’s book is a collection of information and pearls of wisdom, explaining in layman’s terms (with light humour) the essentials of diagnosing and managing almost every parental concern over their babies and children.

Won’t get to sleep? When should I worry about my child’s cough? Is my child contagious?

With chapters What is Normal, How To Parent, When To Worry and Where We’re Heading, Dr. Weisbrot answers the common questions that parents are concerned about regarding their children – with some funny jokes, cute poems and songs in between.

Should I Worry? is a helpful, fun book providing real answers from a pediatric persepective and is a fabulous resource to have on hand when you’re wondering about your child’s health and behaviour.

To order the book, visit Dr. Weisbrot’s website.
