A Practical Guide to Pediatric Acupuncture prepares practitioners for the treatment room by explaining clearly how to approach children and families with confidence and sensitivity and focusing on the 'how' of treatment.
Rebecca Avern draws on 25 years of experience to share the subtleties that shape successful practice; from the first moments of connection with a child to the choices made when treatment proves challenging. Through case histories, she reveals her clinical reasoning step by step, demonstrating how theory can be applied, and adapted, to meet the needs of each individual child.
Covering issues as varied as the impact of family dynamics, the complexities of working with neurodivergent children, and the realities of practice in a post-Covid world, this book offers both insight and reassurance. It is an indispensable resource for acupuncturists and students growing their pediatric practice.

As always, Rebecca's lucid style is an utter joy. It's clear, intelligible, and it shines! Her wise advice on working with children contains so many lessons we can also apply in our work with adult patients. Recommended for every single acupuncture practitioner.

Rebecca Avern's ongoing work on behalf of traditional East Asian pediatrics, and her Practical Guide to Pediatric Acupuncture in particular, are a dream come true for me. The first time I opened this book, I was literally moved to tears!
