How do I choose a daycare center that uses current infection control practices? How long does a child need to stay home when they do have an infection? Can I prevent infection in my child? What are the appropriate and inappropriate uses of antibiotics? What are the best practices for treating a specific childhood infection?Designed to be the home reference book for parents of young children in daycare and preschool, THE PARENT'S SURVIVAL GUIDE TO DAYCARE INFECTIONS is a comprehensive and clear book, with an easy-to-use format, informational quick reference tables, and a detailed index.

As a result, the opportunities to transfer viruses, bacteria, and even parasites from one child to others in close contact are frequent. All are at risk for these infections.

In this remarkable volume she has assembled a team of experts who offer critical perspectives useful for parents who have or soon will have children in daycare.      Richard P.
