"This enlightening book presents the firsthand personal accounts of children with seizure disorders and their parents. In their own words, these children and parents vividly describe the experiences of handling the crisis of the initial seizure, adjusting to the diagnosis of epilepsy, coping with seizures, managing medications and side effects and dealing with health care providers, teachers, schoolmates, siblings and friends... also includes a straightforward medical discussion of childhood seizures, written in layperson's terms, a glossary of medical terms and a guide for schoolteachers and parents." - BOOK JACKET
