The Complete Teething Guide - From Birth to Adolescence Offering parents healthy alternatives
The Complete Teething Guide – From Birth to Adolescence, looks at how the teething process contributes to many of the health problems of today’s youth. While most people associate “teething” with infancy, it actually lasts through young adulthood and can affect children in different ways at different stages.
The Complete Teething Guide is more than a book about teething, it offers information on nutrition during pregnancy, while breastfeeding and for the newborn through adolescence; how breastfeeding and bottle-feeding affect tooth and jaw development; fluoride controversy; hazards, cautions and emergency situations; hygiene; alternative correctional appliances; and natural treatment options for teething-related symptoms such as fevers, nightmares, ADD/ADHD, sleeplessness, depression, headaches, earaches, anxiety, croup and sinus to help restore balance to the child and household.
Kathy Arnos is an internationally recognized author, teacher and healing consultant specializing in children’s issues. She has been lecturing and writing about health and environmental issues for more than 16 years. She helps parents unlock the mysteries of their children’s physical, emotional and behavioral problems, and gives them practical methods to resolve these concerns. In 1987, she created Mother to Mother: Another View newsletter and is also the author of Bach Flowers for Children – Raising Emotionally Healthy Children Without Drugs.
Kathy is known for her thorough investigative techniques, creative and practical solutions and unusual theories about the teething process. Her main objective in writing The Complete Teething Guide was to help parents, doctors and school administrators better understand why kids might be having trouble learning or concentrating (diagnosed as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD or attention deficit disorder, ADD), are continuously sick, experience bouts of anxiety and depression, or are acting irrationally and out of control.
Kathy believes that physical illness, especially in young children, should be examined thoroughly, as well as treated responsibly. She has great respect for the medical profession and the lifesaving miracles it can perform, but states, “Many parents are spending too much time at the doctor’s office looking for a quick fix for the common cold, fever, flu, ear infections, etc. Twenty years ago, a parent was more likely to find answers to health-related questions through books written by respected pediatricians such as Benjamin Spock, M.D. Somehow the baby-boomer era brought with it much more dependent parents and frequent doctor visits. This increased need for pediatrician handholding has also encouraged the overuse of prescription drugs and created parents who have lost the ability to trust their instincts. The time has come to relearn this trust and combine it with old-fashioned common sense.”
