Features: In recent years, with the increasing academic workload and the "fast-foodization" of daily diets, more and more children have developed conditions such as myopia, obesity, and precocious puberty, which have affected their growth to some extent. Some parents, when faced with such situations, often feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do, or resort to desperate measures. Upon investigation, it has been found that there is currently no specialized popular science literature targeting common childhood illnesses available for parents and teachers to choose from. In summary, this is the origin and purpose of the "Series on the Prevention and Treatment of Common Childhood Illnesses." This series consists of six titles: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children, Childhood Obesity, Childhood Accidents, Precocious Puberty in Children, Childhood Dental Problems, and Childhood Eye Conditions. The style aligns with that of the "Series on the Prevention and Treatment of Common Illnesses and Family Rehabilitation," featuring easy-to-understand text and lively illustrations. The books are published in large 32-page format with color printing and are reasonably priced, making them suitable for both parents and teachers as references and for upper elementary students to read independently. To ensure the better growth of the next generation, we would like to address all parents and teachers who hope for their children to excel academically and personally: beyond academics, it is equally important to care for their health. Children are the hope of the future, and caring for their healthy growth is a shared responsibility of both families and society. In recent years, with the increasing academic workload and changes in lifestyle and dietary habits, more and more children have developed conditions such as obesity, myopia, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, affecting their healthy growth and causing distress for parents and teachers. This series provides clear and detailed introductions to the basic characteristics, causes, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment methods for each illness. It also informs readers about disease signals and common misconceptions, as well as how to prevent illness at home, enabling parents and teachers to identify, diagnose, and treat common childhood illnesses early on.
