Ear tubes are inserted in more than 10,000 children every week in the United States.

The book addresses, in a straightforward manner, the myriad of concerns that accompany ear problems. It is an easy read for parents offering practical information previously unavailable in one place. Most importantly, you will achieve peace of mind and a feeling of control over your child's ear problems. Need to know information is well-supported by accompanying colour illustrations. The aim of this guide is to: help your child feel great and sleep well; achieve peace of mind and a feeling of control over your child's ear problems; allow your child to progress as rapidly as possible with speech, language, and learning; reduce, or eliminate, the need for oral antibiotics by using antibiotic ear drops, when necessary; permit your child to bathe and swim without earplugs, headbands, or other water precautions; and keep the tubes functional and trouble-free for the longest time possible.

Family Diversity and Family Policy: Strengthening Families for America’s Children

by Richard M. Lerner, Elizabeth E. Sparks, Laurie D. McCubbin

1999 · Springer Science & Business Media

Family Diversity and Family Policy describes the dimensions of diversity which characterize the contemporary American family and discusses the implications for public policy and associated intervention programs linked to this diversity. The authors contend that if the programs and policies available to support families are to be most useful, they need to reflect the diversity of the families they intend to help. Beginning with a discussion of the historical and contemporary context of the American family, Family Diversity and Family Policy focuses on child poverty and argues that this topic may be usefully studied within the context of developmental systems theory. This theory systematically links the development of individuals to variations in their physical and social ecology, and is used as a framework for discussing: Contemporary challenges faced by parents charged with rearing adolescents, and the familial and societal issues that arise when the adolescents being reared are parents themselves. Current policy issues that arise from welfare debates in the United States and from recently-enacted welfare reform legislation. The importance for our nation of developing a comprehensive national youth policy. The authors draw implications for the design, delivery, and evaluation of diversity-sensitive policies and programs for families and youth, and offer a vision of how to link scholars, policy makers, and community members in multi-professional and multi-institutional collaborations promoting the positive development of American families and youth. Family Diversity and Family Policy is relevant to scholars and policy makers interested in human development, particularly of children and adolescents. In addition, it should be essential reading for practitioners and policy makers in government, private industry, and public and private social service organizations.
