Book Description
From a sympathetic and caring pediatric neurologist—the first and only book written by a practicing physician for the parents of children with headaches to help them deal with their child's pain, and improve the quality of life for their entire family. • 12 million children in America suffer from headaches.
• 20% of all children suffer from recurrent headaches (half are migraine).
• 50% of the 23 million adults with migraines had first attack in childhood.
• One million school days lost to migraines each year. Clearly, many parents can benefit from a guide to help them understand their child's headache: what might be causing it, how to treat it, and how to keep it from controlling their child's life as well as their own. As no such book by a doctor was available, Dr. Cheyette was urged by her patients to provide something for their home reference, which led to her writing this easy-to-understand guide, which is laced throughout with summary boxes, anecdotes and diagrams. In its seven chapters, Dr. Cheyette offers practical advice on all kinds of headaches and how to treat them, with and without medication, traditional and homeopathic and non-traditional; how to deal with doctors and what questions to ask them, and she discusses how a child develops the concept of pain and how they express it. Dr. Cheyette's book is a must for all families and caregivers.

This is probably the most easy to understand books I have read on childhood headaches. It is an easy read and makes a complicated topic simple to understand. I would highly recommend this book to mom's out there who think there's a little more to their child's headaches. By the time you're done reading you will have a good background to talk with your child's pediatrician.
I have also used "The Headache Detective" workbook as a diary to track both my girls' headaches. The Headache Detective; by John Ricker has helped us more than any other book in really finding the foods my daughters were eating that were triggering there headaches. It cost a little more than other books but not needing to put together my own diary was well worth the money.
