  Author's note The material in this book is for information purposes only. It is not intended as an alternative to medical advice. If you suspect that your child is suffering from a medical condition, you should always consult a doctor.

  I have found myself referring to 'he' throughout the book. This is because as a mother of two boys, it came more naturally. However, it is meant to refer to children of both sexes.
