Halfway through this book, my wife convinced me to start reading it, myself. As I read it, I started thinking of how many of these things I used to do as a kid but, how little of them, with my busy schedule, I do with my kids. We then decided to start doing some of the exercises and playing some of the games that Laura and Jorge mention here. Although we don't do them every day, the kids really enjoy them and are constantly asking us for more. That motivates us even more to go out there and continue exercising with them. What started as a way to get the kids to have fun and in good shape has also turned into a challenge for my wife and I to get into better shape as well. One of the things that I have also noticed is that the kids are getting along much better too. I strongly encourage anyone to pick up this book and read it. The good thing is that you can just read it little by little. (Amazon Review by Carlos R. Rodriguez)

Nothing makes one more keenly aware of health risks lurking in the everyday world than becoming a parent. Most know the importance of using cabinet locks and child gates, but research is showing many more ways we need to be childproofing our homes. Tens of millions of American children now face chronic diseases and illnesses including cancer, autism, asthma, birth defects, ADD/ADHD, allergies, learning and developmental disabilities, as well as a host of lesser but disruptive ailments. And the growing research points to much of the increases on unseen threats wrought by exposure to chemicals in everyday products like cleaning supplies, beauty care and cosmetics, home furnishings, plastics, some foods and toys as contributing to these ailments. With that in mind, the non-profit organization Healthy Child Healthy World offers parents a definitive guide to creating a healthy, nontoxic, and environmentally sound home.
