Book Description:
One of the most difficult decisions a parent must make is who is going to watch his or her child while they are at work. Childcare can be a tricky decision.

€ Do you work with an au pair agency? € Do you select an in-home sitter? € Do you drop your child off at a well-known daycare center? € How do you know the child care provider is trustworthy?

This book covers everything from background checks to creating contracts with the daycare provider. It also covers precautions such as checking the safety of the building in which the child care is provided (fire codes, smoke alarms, insurance, liability, etc.). Checklists for comparison of facilities and other types of childcare are also included for easy use.

Additional appendices are included with valuable resources and websites to assist the reader in finding the information he or she needs.

»Book author: Shulamith Kreitler, Myriam Weyl Ben Arush

Book Description:
This book is a comprehensive text on the all-important psychosocial aspects of cancer in children. Edited by an experienced psycho-oncologist and an equally experienced pediatric oncologist, the book brings together an international group of contributors composed of pediatric oncologists and psychologists/psycho-oncologists. This unique balance of contributors gives the book a focus on the real-life practical aspects of children undergoing treatment for cancer. The book helps health care professionals, who look after children and adolescents with cancer, in dealing with the difficult and complex problems that face the child, his siblings and his parents. It deals with critical issues such as the neuropsychological impact of treatment, (including bone marrow transplantation), pain, quality of life in survivors, palliative care, talking to children and their families about death, and providing support to the dying.

An important part of the book provides tools for evaluation and methods of psychological intervention. It is thus a very practical work for psycho-oncologists, pediatric oncologists, pediatricians, psychologists, nurses, social workers and art therapists dealing with the problems that children with cancer have to confront.

• A comprehensive book on the clinical approach to psychosocial problems of children with cancer
• Includes evaluation tools and psychological intervention techniques
