Dr. Laura Nathanson wrote The Portable Pediatrician to help parents find the joy in parenting and gain the confidence to quickly and easily assess their child's development, medical symptoms, and behavioral problems. Parents can't always visit their pediatrician every time they have a question, but fortunately with this book they have the next best thing.

The Portable Pediatrician, one of the few child-care books written by a practicing pediatrician, offers authoritative and practical advice on:

Keeping up with, or even one step ahead of, your child's rapidly changing needsSetting limits before the one year birthdayPlanning the arrival of the next baby in the familyCoping with your own as well as with your child's separation anxietyDealing with the four I's: illnesses, injuries, immunizations, and insurance coverageGetting prompt medical attention for serious crises — and what to do in the meantimePreventing childhood obesity and eating disorders laterConfronting complex behavior and medical problems, including ADD, autism, asthma, oppositional behavior (including potty resistance)
