"I highly recommend that every parent read The Prescription for a Happy and Healthy Child! I was in awe of the level of detail and subjects covered by Dr. Daniela Atanassova-Lineva and Dr. Shellie Hipsky in this book. When two amazing mommies who are well respected in their own fields combine their expertise and share their experience with the world, it creates an absolutely invaluable resource. As a mother and doctor myself, I really wish I would had this book when I had my daughter 8 years ago. I've also seen the special bond that Dr. Shellie has with her own two amazing children and her mother, which makes this collaboration with respected pediatrician Dr. Daniela an even more meaningful book.

As a busy healthcare professional, I see tremendous value in the information presented; it's to the point, descriptive, and diagnostic. The authors go beyond giving great information. They share the frustration and worries of the parents, whether it is about a rash or an episode of depression! This is truly a practical handbook of modern parenting."
