Under Pressure: Confronting the EpidemiΓ’€¦

I have a ten year old daughter and I feel like it is the perfect time to read this book.  While she is not yet dealing with many of the issues presented, it is good for me to know what problems might be  down the pipeline and down to earth, reasonable, ways to handle them.  My one objection is that the author works at a private all-girls school and at a private practice.  This means that common issues that girls from less privileged backgrounds were not really addressed.  Overall, though, I found this incredibly helpful and full of commonsense advice.  I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.
