Title: Health psychology
 |
- Author: Edward P. Sarafino
- Publisher: John Wiley and sons, inc.
- Year: 1990-1998
- ISBN: 0-471-16917-X
- Description: This book has nothing to do with vision. Did you know that
the 7 golden life style rules for a healthy existence are: 1) No smoking 2) No alcohol or
very little 3) Early to bed 4) Eat breakfast every day 5) No snacking between meals 6) Regular
vigorous bodily exercise 7) Not being fat ? Yes you did. But if you need it repeated
over and over again, read this book (once will suffice). Why do I include it here, if
I'm so critical about it? It does contain a lot more than this lifestyle stuff, there are chapters
on dealing with being ill, going to hospital, how children deal with being sick, having
an operation, going to hospital or to a doctor, which may be helpful for those of you
who have a child with a squint who is having strabismus surgery, or will have to wear
a patch or glasses.
