If Your Kid Eats This Book…
Our first child never has taken a trip to the emergency room. The middle child is a whole other story! Just over two years old and we have had to take that fateful trip to the emergency room twice already! Both children are great kids, just one is much more adventurous and daring than the other more cautious child. No matter the temperament of your child, there are times when all parents panic unsure what to do next.
Making the decision whether or not to take your child to the emergency room is not always an easy one. Dr Lara Zibners, an American ER doctor having witnessed many different cases, has written a helpful book for parents called, “If Your Kids Eats this Book, Everything will be Okay: How to Know if Your Child’s Injury or Illness is Really an Emergency“.
What is nice about this book, besides being an excellent resource, is that the author takes a light, do not panic approach to parenting decisions. The chapters are easy to navigate, so when in a potentially serious situation it is easy to find what you need. The information is to the point, yet fun to read, with valuable advice for parents.
I headed to chapter 8, the body, arms and legs to read about nursemaid’s elbow (something we recently took our son to the emergency room for) out of curiosity. The author has a great tip, recommending seeing the doctor before having x-rays as the doctor (or nurse in our case) can pop the elbow back in quite easily, avoiding the x-ray completely.
“If Your Kids Eats this Book, Everything will be Okay“, is an awesome resource for parents that will be within hands reach for us for years to come. – by Chelle

Oh man can I/We relate. Same scenerio here. We were so spoiled with our first boy and our second, well he thinks he is either a monkey or Spider Man. He is crawling up the computer desk as we speak. He still has a doozy of a black eye that is a week and a half old from wrestling with his brother. YIKES! I think I really need to read this book if for nothing else to ease my mind that he will be ok.lol
Thanks for the contest.

As the mom of 4 kids under age 10, we are always having one injury or another. I think I need this book to be put with our first aid kit so I can determine if i need to take them to the er, call the doctor in the morning or nurse the injury myself.

The title of this book makes me laugh because it makes me think of my friend’s child who opened a bag of flour the other day and dumped it all over their living room. I would love to give them this book because they are always worried something is gonna happen.
