What is the single greatest gift you can give your child? Vibrant good health, of course. But in a world where children as young as ten are being diagnosed with early signs of heart disease, where up to a third of young children at an infant school may be taking Ritalin, a drug that has been banned in Sweden, and where computers, not dogs, are a child's best friend, how do you get it right?

In What Really Works for Kids, award-winning Sunday Times journalist and one of Britain's leading health writers Susan Clark draws upon her considerable wealth of experience and the very latest cutting-edge scientific research to offer every parent the opportunity to make sound, confident decisions that will benefit their children's health now and in the future.
As she highlights the health hazards that plague so many youngsters today, Susan reveals the benefits of vitamins, herbs and homeopathic treatments - and focuses on a range of simple but effective hands-on therapies, such as yoga and infant massage, that really work. Here too, as she unravels the complex and often contradictory information that appears in the media, she details the fascinating key stages of development, from newborn to young adulthood, and provides parents with an easy-to-follow A-Z guide on how to treat over fifty everyday complaints.

Packed with practical advice and essential information, What Really Works for Kids is the ultimate health guide for parents everywhere - and one of the most valuable books they will ever own.

Susan Clark was voted Health Journalist of the Year 2000 and was headhunted by the Sunday Times and invited to be their first ever Health and Fitness editor. It was here that she launched their ground-breaking Lifestyle section and her hugely popular 'What's the Alternative?' column. She now also writes a monthly column for Harpers and is a regular guest on Henry Kelly's Drivetime show on LBC radio. Susan has broken all audience-response records with her guest appearances on national radio (after her last contribution to the Jimmy Young Show over 75,000 listeners called in to ask for her free information sheet) and is a popular speaker at conferences around the UK. She acts as a consultant to several herbal companies and The Health Food Manufacturers' Association (HFMA). Her two previous books, The Vitality Cookbook and What Really Works - The Insider's Guide to Natural Health were published by HarperCollins. Susan lives in Oxfordshire with her husband, young daughter.
