From best-selling author and Australian pediatrician Dr Golly comes this easy-to-use, comprehensive and reassuring first-aid guide for babies and children! Preparing parents for the most common emergencies at home, from choking and burns to seizures, bites and stings.

Paediatrician and father of three, Dr Daniel Golshevsky – known as Dr Golly – has seen how quickly accidents can unfold, and how overwhelming it feels when you don't know what to do. Drawing on years of medical expertise, he offers calm, step-by-step advice to help you recognise an emergency, take action with confidence, and know when to seek professional help.

While bumps, scrapes and illnesses are an unavoidable part of childhood, being prepared makes all the difference. This book is designed to give parents and carers the knowledge to prevent injuries where possible, manage unexpected situations, and act quickly in critical moments.

Inside Dr Golly's Guide to Family First Aid, you'll learn:

  • How to respond in an emergency, including CPR and calling for help
  • The essentials for building a reliable home first aid kit
  • Red flags for severe illness and injury
  • What to do for choking, poisoning, bleeding and burns
  • Managing head knocks, sprains, breaks and dental trauma
  • Recognising and treating allergies, anaphylaxis, asthma and seizures
  • Practical advice on water safety, bites, stings and other risks unique to Australian families
  • With guidance developed alongside leading paediatric emergency experts, this is an indispensable resource for every household. And remember: no-one knows your child better than you. If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and reach out for medical care.
