The No-Cry Picky Eater Solution: Gentle Ways to Encourage Your Child to Eat―and Eat Healthy - Softcover

Eating should be a pleasurable experience. Food should not provoke anxiety, stress or worry. Meals should supply the best possible fuel for energy, health and for emotional contentment. This act of eating - which will be done more often than almost anything else in your child's life - should be a positive, pleasant, enriching experience.
 
Food is your child's fuel for growth and development and you need to feed your child three meals plus snacks--every single day. You may feel like picky-eating issues overshadow every part of your life and put a damper on what should be an enjoyable stage in your child's growth.
 
The biggest problem that parents of picky eaters face is the perpetuation of the myth that children should want to eat healthy, well-rounded meals every day and that they should eat vegetables with gusto, never desire junk food, and emphatically turn down sweets and treats in favor of fresh fruit. Let's put this myth aside as wishful thinking, since almost 85% of parents say that their child is or was a picky eater.


The No-Cry Picky Eater Solution will provide you with plenty of tips and solutions for getting your picky eater to enjoy more healthful eating, so you can get back to enjoying mealtime with your child.
