Note: Good eating habits can be easily learned when meals are planned to give a balanced diet and children are allowed to eat what they wish from what is placed before them. This is good advice from therapists Genevieve Painter and Raymond Corsine in The Practical Parent. (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1984), p.59.

This review is from: 365 Foods Kids Love to Eat, 3E: Fun, Nutritious and Kid-Tested! (Paperback)

I bought this book because my 3 boys are picky eaters. Out of 365 recipes I only found maybe 15 they would even think about eating. They liked maybe 5 out of that. Still worth it just to find healthy recipes the boys like. This book had alot of ingredients I normally don't have, be prepared to find and buy ingredients.
