In Take the Fight Out of Food parents will learn how to: - Understand their own "food legacy" and how it affects their children - Keep their children connected to food in a positive way - Talk to their kids about food and nutrition - Recognize and deal with the six types of eaters -- including the Picky Eater, the Grazer, and the Beige Food Eater With guidance, inspiration, and encouragement, this invaluable book helps parents to teach their children to eat for life in a positive and healthy family environment.

For PICKY EATERS !!!

My grandson is THE pickiest eater I have ever experienced, and this book gave me insight on how to relate to it! Relax, children will eat when they are hungry!!!

Finally a book that really helps

Finally a book that really addresses the needs and wants of both parents and children. As a mother of four, I am finally able to help each one of my children develop their own eating styles that will enable them to have a healthy lifestyle. Thank you!

Saved me and my child!

"I was constantly running after my 2 year old with food; that's how worried I was that he was too thin. Even though my doctor said not to worry, I always left the office wondering what to do, and how to stop worrying; this book saved me from becoming a nervous wreck and from creating more problems!"

This book saved my life!

I was being driven nuts by all my kids' different demands for meals! This book helped me figure out how to deal with all of their differences, and to stop fighting about it with my husband! Excellent guide !

Best parenting book I have read yet!

This book helped me deal with my picky eater and my 7 y/o who can't stop eating! But best of all, they are making good decisions about food and we never fight! This book is fun to read and has great exercises to use!
