This book is dedicated to health professionals and nurse practitioner students who promote wellness in our children and deliver excellent patient care. This book is also dedicated to my husband, children (and spouses), and my grandchildren, including those who may be born in the future. This book is also dedicated to the thousands of students I have been privileged to teach for inspiring the awareness of the need for this book.

Preface

Primary Well-Being: Case Studies for the Growing Child  fills an urgent need: to emphasize and enhance the normal development of the well child. The primary care provider is the one professional who sees every child and their parent during the early years of life. This is a unique time where the provider can assess the child’s health and educate parents on how to provide a healthy environment and important practices to nurture healthy children. This book will benefit nurse practitioner students as a teaching text and a manual for clinical practice; it will also serve as a guide for nurse practitioners. The book incorporates complementary medicine, professional advocacy, specific development enhancement skills, and parent/provider communication strategies.
