"Để Con Được Ốm" (Let Your Child Be Sick) by Dr. Nguyễn Trí Đoàn stands out for its refreshing and insightful approach to child healthcare. What makes the book truly impressive is its challenge to conventional medical practices that often involve over-medication and unnecessary tests. Dr. Đoàn advocates for a more evidence-based approach, focusing on natural, holistic care and encouraging parents to allow children to experience common illnesses in order to strengthen their immune systems.
The book resonates with parents because it provides practical advice on how to approach childhood illnesses without panic. Dr. Đoàn emphasizes that not every fever or cough requires a trip to the doctor or a prescription. Instead, the book offers insights into when medical intervention is truly necessary and when it's better to let the body heal itself. It teaches parents to trust their instincts, understand the natural progression of many childhood diseases, and reduce the pressure of over-medicalizing every minor ailment.
One of the most impressive aspects of "Để Con Được Ốm" is the balance it strikes between medical knowledge and emotional reassurance. Dr. Đoàn, who has years of experience in pediatric emergency care, brings a wealth of clinical expertise while also empathizing with the anxieties and fears that parents often experience when their child falls ill. His advice is grounded in both science and a deep understanding of the emotional journey that parents go through.
Additionally, the book's impact extends beyond individual parenting—it's also reshaping how pediatric care is perceived in Vietnam. By promoting a more measured and informed approach to childhood illnesses, Dr. Đoàn is encouraging a cultural shift toward mindful and responsible healthcare for children.
"Để Con Được Ốm" has earned high praise for its ability to empower parents, reduce unnecessary worry, and foster healthier attitudes towards managing common childhood illnesses. It provides parents with the tools to help their children recover and thrive without relying excessively on medication, making it an essential read for modern parents.
