Raising Healthy Eaters: 100 Tips For Parents

By Henry Legere

One of the most important steps that parents can take to prevent childhood obesity or simply to get their children to a healthier weight is to teach them good eating habits. Establishing such habits at an early age will contribute to lifelong health. Indeed, when kids learn that a snack should be an apple or carrots instead of chips or a candy bar-a deceptively difficult lesson to teach-they are better equipped to resist the temptation of junk food on a regular basic. In Raising Healthy Eaters , Dr. Legere offers 100 easy-to-follow and easy-to-implement tips for parents of children of all ages and eating preferences. He includes healthy, quick recipes that kids will actually like, as well as specific suggestions for parents who want to serve only organic foods or whose children have allergies or aversions. Raising Healthy Eaters is the essential resource for parents working to raise healthy kids in a fast-food world.

LAME and full of ordinary common sense you already know!

This book is ridiculous!... it's full of "innovative" and helpful tips like... --if your kids don't like a food the first time--serve it again and again, they'll come around eventually. --let them help you prepare the food, then they'll be interested in it and want to eat it --smother veggies in cheese or ranch, all kids love both! ANY parent out there knows and has already tried this 100 times!!! As the mother of a finicky eater--(who, despite all attempts to not "create or reinforce" her behavior, still struggles with pickiness) I was actually looking for some HELPFUL information and useful tips a little beyond the ordinary, common sense even a nincompoop could pick out of their b*tt. Don't waste your time or money!!!
