  • A must have for parents with a child suffering pain

    In a simple to understand way Dr. Zeltzer explains how pain affects children and their families, pain is real and scary and society must understand this is a reality that affects many people worldwide. As a mom of a 7 year old girl with chronic screaming pain on a daily basis this book is giving me hope; is just refreshing to know that the medical field is opening up and learning more about pain in little children and adolescents. She also points clearly to the "weak" points we as parents have like overprotecting our sick kids which in a long term causes them to hold on opening to the world themselves. Two thumbs up Dr. Zeltzer! You are the best.
