Book Description

Answering a multitude of questions—such as What should a parent do with a child who wants to snack continuously? How should parents deal with a young teen who has declared herself a vegetarian and refuses to eat any type of meat? Or What can parents do with a child who claims he doesn't like what's been prepared, only to turn around and eat it at his friend's house?—this guide explores the relationship between parents, children, and food in a warm, friendly, and supportive way.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"Feeding is a metaphor for the parent/child relationship overall," says Ellyn Satter, author of How to Get Your Kid to Eat ... But Not Too Much. Satter stresses her "Golden Rule" of parenting: parents are responsible for what is presented to eat and the manner in which it is presented. Children are responsible for how much or even whether they eat. Early chapters describe basic feeding principals. Satter then stresses ways to develop and maintain normal eating patterns from birth through adolescence, and provides solid information (and information on "solids") to both empower and relieve all parents worried about how their child eats. Later sections focus on feeding problems, obesity, special needs children, and eating disorders. How to Get Your Kid to Eat ... But Not Too Much may be the most sensible and accessible book on childhood feeding on the market.

Review

"This book is just great . . . Bravo!" —T. Berry Brazelton, MD

"[Her book] can help you feed your child well while avoiding . . . food-centered struggles that can affect the parent-child relationship." —Woman's Day

"There's advice on: the kid who won't eat, the kid who overeats, the kid who demands peanut butter and jelly sandwiches three times a day, the kid who gets hungry after you've cleared away the dishes . . . [Ellyn Satter] helps parents give their children the ultimate gift; a healthy attitude toward food." —American Health

"What I need is a Fairy Godmother of nutrition who can change mealtimes from high-powered negotiation into exquisite exercises in balance. I think I found her. She is Ellyn Satter." —Carla K. Johnson, The Spokesman-Review & Spokane Chronicle
