Complementary and alternative therapies for pediatric health problems like pain, stress, and sleep are becoming increasingly popular, and the evidence base supporting their use is rapidly growing. The Be the Boss of Your Body self-help manuals are outstanding, first-of-their-kind resources for those interested in integrating complementary and alternative approaches with traditional therapies. Culbert and Kajander's emphasis on children taking control of their problems and their comprehensive attention to body, mind, and spirit are clinically "right on." These manuals are informative, interesting, and highly practical. The content presented is kid-friendly and easy to use. I highly recommend this series to children, families, and clinical practitioners interested in integrative approaches to common pediatric problems and plan to regularly use these manuals in my clinical practice.
