Product Description
From Amazon.com
"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.

Not for kids who really won't eat!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much (Paperback)
This book has been recommended to me by several nutritionists and speech pathologists who admit to Not having Read it! If your child has a serious eating disorder or "failure to thrive" as mine does please save yourself the heartache and don't read this book. If I had allowed my child to take responsibility for whether she ate and how much she ate as per the author's theory she would have died of starvation by now. Period. "Poor Eaters" is a much better place to start. Good luck.

should be required reading for all parents,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much (Paperback)
This is a book all parents should read. As a Registered Dietitian, I have been recommending this book to parents since it was published. Parents become very anxious about how their children eat, throughout the lifecycle, and the book will both comfort and guide parents throughout those years. The book will let parents focus on other more pressing issues of childrearing.

Peace at the dinner table!,
By "melindasbooks" (Tempe, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much (Paperback)
As a Registered Dietitian, I have used the concepts in this book to help parents transform their feeding relationships with their kids! It is best to read this book before you even have children or when they are very young and problems haven't started yet, but if you pick it up out of desperation, that's OK too - the concepts here are a great relief for many parents: It is not up to you to get the food into the mouth of the child! As long as you are doing your part of providing consistent, reasonably balanced meals, your child will do the rest and eat what he/she needs. In fact, when you end the begging/pleading/bribing of the child to eat, they will end up eating better in the long run! The concepts in this book, when consistently applied, lead to a much more relaxed mealtime, less struggle over food between parent/child, and in my opinion, ultimately help the child achieve and maintain a healthy weight and healthy relationship with food.
