Editorial Reviews

Review
"A sound alternative to the daily wars fought over food in many households." -- Library Journal

"Important reading. . . A sound concept." -- Los Angeles Times

"This book will transform the lives of parents and children who struggle over when, what, and how much to eat." -- Harriet Goldhor Lerner, author of The Dance of Anger

Product Description
As seen on the Oprah Winfrey show!

This book offers a common-sense, relaxed approach to healthy eating for children of all ages. The authors present evidence that children will naturally self-regulate their eating if rigid rules are not imposed upon them. They also address parents' most common concerns such as when, what, and how much kids should be eating, how to handle peer pressure, the sugar controversy, body-image problems, special situations, and eating disorders. This book will help both parents and children make peace with food.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a gem!, March 29, 2000
By michele (California) - See all my reviews
This is a great book. The theory that this book encourages is sometimes called *intuitive eating*. I have introduced this method of eating to my family,and I already see wonderful results. It is empowering for our children to learn to listen to their bodies. By respecting our children, and trusting them to know what their bodies need, we stop the power struggles about food in our families.In addition, we give our children a wonderful gift: a healthy relationship with food. Buy the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpfull approach, May 21, 2001
By A Customer
I thought that the book was an excellent guide, not only in dealing with preventing eating problems in children, but to assist myself with eating problems that I have struggled with since I was a child. The approach advises to legalize all foods for your family and to not impose restrictions on your children because all it will do is backfire on you and they will want it more. The book is helpful because it deals with feeding from birth and up, and also shows how one can implement this plan with older children.
