Natural First Aid: Herbal Treatments for Ailments & Injuries/Emergency Preparedness/Wilderness Safet
Natural First Aid will help you to care for others with the natural remedies you have on hand. The key is to stay calm, move quickly, and know what to do. If you need to arm yourself with information for both emergency and non-emergency situations this is the book. After reading it I have come to the conclusion that it is one of those indispensable reference books everyone should have. It's definitely a book to have in the First Aid kit when camping. Brigitte Mars also tells us the most important items to stock in a natural first-aid kit for your car, backpack, and yes ladies even in your handbag. Do you know that cayenne pepper can stop bleeding? Or that garlic can alleviate a toothache? Or that honey can soothe a burn?
I was impressed with NATURAL FIRST AID. It's easy to read and understand and there is nothing extreme about the natural remedies. I highly recommend it to everyone.
First of all, this book is set up only to supplement modern medical care. Each topic starts with criteria for seeking medical attention; that's fine, but not really in keeping with the wilderness safety or preparedness themes listed on the cover. Both those themes suggest a lack of available medical attention, which would be the primary motivation to look at natural alternatives in the first place.
More problematically, the book either takes for granted certain knowledge or assumes that you will do more explanatory supplemental research elsewhere. No form is given for many of the suggested herbal remedies, leaving one to wonder as to whether we're supposed to have stocked up on that at the health food store ahead of time or should know what it looks like in the wild and how to prepare it.
All things considered, there is some worthwhile information in here about how to respond to common health issues like overheating, bruises, sprains, poison ivy, etc., but I wouldn't consider it much of a functional on-hand reference.This informative book is written in such a way that it is easy to read and extremely informative with a perfect amount of photography. An excellent addition to any library.I am very into natural first aid so this book was such a great starter for me. I think many will enjoy it.
Weight Watchers Family Power: 5 Simple Rules for a Healthy-Weight Home (Miller-Kovach, Weight Watche
I wasn't really sure what I was getting when I ordered this book. The book is based on a new program being piloted now by Weight Watchers. The program, in limited areas now teaches parents on how to encourage a "Healthy Weight" home. What surprised me is how different this program is from the one designed by Weight Watchers for adults as part of their nationally available program. For one, they strongly discourage parents from placing all but the most obese of children on a diet and then only with the close supervision of a physician.The book trains parents on the "5 Simple Rules."
1. Focus on wholesom, nutritious foods.
2. Include treats.
3. Aim to keep nonhomework screen time at two hours (or less) per day.
4. Try to be active an hour per day.
5. The Rules apply to everyone in the home.
While that should tell you all you need to know about the program there is so much more. My daughter 4, does not currently have a weight issue, however as an over obese person since childhood I watch her closely to attempt to prevent her from having the same weight issues I have. I was shocked to learn all of the things I am doing wrong. Everything from what snacks/treats I give her to forcing her to clean her plate, and at least a dozen other things.
One of the things I loved about this book it there was no encouragement to make drastic life altering adjustments to your life. In fact, the book encourages gentler simple steps your family can carry out. It doesn't tell you what order to complete the rules in, but to start with the ones you know you can do. The book offers real life concerns and solutions that even the most out of shape family can take to heart.
The book also discourages you from weighing your children more than when they are at the physician's office or even discussing weight in front of them. If anyone in your house struggles with their weight this book is a must have. I wish it had been available to my parents when I was young, I only hope I can learn enough from it to prevent the same mistakes in my children.
Lots of information and on suggestions on how to make it a family effort!
I totally recommend it!

The Amazing Fitness Adventure for Your Kids: 90 Days to Raising Healthy Children
One of my favorite quotes from this book is: "Give me a break, Phil and Amy. I'm a busy parent. I can't do everything perfectly. Nobody's perfect!"I love this because Phil and Amy understand why our kids are in the situations that we find our families in. They get that we are so busy, and that most of the time, it's just easier to go to the drive-thru and (sometimes) let our kids play video games. They don't harp on us as parents and call us failures. Instead, they give us the tools to make a difference. It's not only our responsibility to teach our kids to be more physically fit than society dictates, it can be one of the best lessons we ever share with them.
I love that this book isn't condescending or judgmental, but is informative and totally helpful. Besides listing facts and stating the problems of kids, their sedimentary lifestyles, and their corresponding weights, Amy and Phil give us the tools and motivation to change things.
This guide provides science, menu planning advice, activity ideas, as well as thoughtful discussion to get your entire family involved. It's truly a must-have resource for any family, even those without kids who are considered overweight. It will be a gift that will benefit many generations. Highly recommend!
