THE PICKY EATING SOLUTION
Do your children yell "Yuck" when given a new food? Do they refuse to eat anything besides chicken nuggets and pizza? Have you tried everything to get them to eat healthy food and find that nothing works?
Well you have come to the right place. Children do not leave their personalities at the door when they sit down to eat meals. The Picky Eating Solution will teach you what the best parent feeding style is and how to identify your child's specific eating personality. Learn how to feed your individual child by working with their temperaments, not against them. It is time for drama free meals.

BEAT SUGAR ADDICTION NOW: FOR KIDS
The modern American child's diet is awash in sugar—including mainstays such as juice, chocolate milk, sugary cereals, soda, energy drinks, and fast-food burgers and nuggets with added corn syrup and sweeteners, let alone candy and cookies prevalent at school parties and play dates. Beat Sugar Addiction Now! for Kids gives parents a proven 5-step plan for getting and keeping their child off sugar. Bestselling author and noted physician Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum and pediatric nutrition specialist Deborah Kennedy, Ph.D., give parents a toolkit for avoiding the common pitfalls such as guilt and temper tantrums, managing the 5-step process successfully on a day-to-day basis, and getting their child emotionally, as well as physically, unhooked from sugary drinks, breakfast foods, snacks, and desserts, as well as "hidden" sugars in foods.

As a new dad I was clueless when it came to feeding my son. This book was great bathroom reading and I really learned a lot.
Mike (Dad of 2 boys)
My daughter was super thin and it helped me to know that a child reaches their lowest fat percentage at age 6 before putting it back on again. I could breath easier after knowing this.
