Healthy Kids, Happy Kids

Outline

Healthy Kids, Happy Kids (2023) is a practical guide to supporting children’s health from the inside out. Elisa Song, a paediatrician who combines conventional and integrative medicine, explains how gut health, nutrition, sleep, and stress affect children’s bodies and moods. She offers simple, everyday steps parents can take to help prevent common illnesses and raise healthier, happier kids.

• Children's health starts from the inside, so gut health is a good place for parents to begin.
• What a child eats shapes both their body and their mood, not just their weight.
• Sleep and stress affect how children feel and behave as much as diet does.
• Small, simple daily steps from parents can help prevent common childhood illnesses.
• The author, a paediatrician, draws on both conventional and integrative medicine to guide these everyday habits.

Elisa Song is an American paediatrician who specialises in integrative paediatrics, combining conventional medicine with lifestyle and nutrition approaches. She founded a paediatric practice in California and runs educational programmes for parents on children’s health. Healthy Kids, Happy Kids is her first book.
