This guide gives advice on what homeopathy is and how to use it; each stage of childhood and how to deal with the complaints that occur at that time of a child's development; the most common childhood illnesses; how to take your own steps to treating them; which homeopathic remedies to use; and when to seek medical help and first aid.
