“The biggest threat to the health of a child is an unsafe environment. Every parent and grandparent should read this book and follow the advice.”

– Michael P. Nussbaum, M.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, State University of NY

“A candid, practical, thoroughly ‘reader friendly’ instructional manual, this do-it-yourself advisory will have still another additional benefit — peace of mind for stressed out parents!”

– Midwest Book Review

“I unreservedly recommend this book to any new parent, and this is probably my new gift to any prospective adoptive parents in preparation for that nerve-wracking home visit. So if you’re a new parent (or grandparent, or close family member or friend of a new parent) run out and grab a copy soon. You’ll be glad you did.”

Tip of the Month

Buy From Local Growers

-- In this way you avoid buying food shipped over long distances or stored over long periods of time and there is accountability for the manner in which it was produced. It also provides tremendous support to the local farmers. Moreover, it can often mean lower prices, too! You can also grow your own chemical-free produce right in your own backyard, (or even in a container), which can be a fun family activity.
