Preface:

As the name signifies this book deals with the problems of children which make them 'the problem child' for the parents and others.
Since my childhood I often used to think how a doctor comes to know what a crying child is crying for. I realised this only after becoming a doctor that it is not always very difficult to find out the cause of child's crying. The cause could be very simple like hunger, overclothing etc. Is it not strange that infants get bored, need attention like the warmth and the comfort of the lap of mother? A child knows the mood of the father, gets the impression of the family atmosphere, and surroundings but it is all true! The budding child needs a perfect mixture of love, affection and care, lest all behavioural and resultant physical ailments crop up.
This booklet is written to deal with all such maladies and situations like, why and how a child becomes 'The Problem Child’? How one can prevent it? What parents should do to manage it? Can it be treated with homoeopathy? I have discussed the various situations of neonates to adolescents including the infants and young school children's psychological, behavioural problems and habits which if they develop then, definitely they need to be taken care of. I have discussed these under specific headings which are prevelent at specific age groups. I have given few clinical examples also for the convenience of the readers. A separate chapter of interesting clinical case histories and the approach to select the homoeopathic remedy for them is included for understanding the approach to deal such cases. Here, the observation of physician and his understanding of the child psychology is put to test. I have used annexures also for the reference and use.
I am sure this comprehensive work of mine would be useful, practical compadium to fresh doctors and the busy practitioners too.
I must thank M/s B. Jain Publishers for their kind co-operation for publishing my maiden venture.
