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. According to our understanding, there is currently no specialized popular science literature targeting common childhood illnesses available for parents and teachers. Therefore, the origin and purpose of the "Prevention and Treatment of Common Childhood Illnesses" series. This series consists of six books: "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children," "Childhood Obesity," "Childhood Accidents," "Precocious Puberty in Children," "Childhood Dental Problems," and "Childhood Eye Diseases." The style of this series aligns with that of the "Prevention and Treatment of Common Illnesses and Family Rehabilitation" series—easy-to-understand text and lively illustrations. The books are in a large 32-page format, printed in two colors, and priced reasonably. They are suitable for both parents and teachers as references and can also be read independently by upper elementary school students. To help the next generation grow better, we would like to say to all parents and teachers who hope for their children to excel—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 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, examination methods, and treatments of 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.
