Author Description

From Publishers Weekly Gilman, author of The Adoption Resource Book and a mother who lives in New York, presents a good starting place for parents coping with or contemplating the task of raising children in the great metropolis. She covers pregnancy issues, childbirth education classes, child care, how to find information, choosing schools for different needs, and includes a detailed chart of what child and pediatric care is offered at which New York City hospitals. She also discusses "lifestyle ideas"how to find more space as well as suggesting public facilities for recreation and cultural resources. While this title doesn't answer every question parents or parents-to-be might have, it is informative, straightforward and worth having on hand for basic reference.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
