Ellyn talks specifically about this in her book. ![]() Another challenge parents are faced with is the pressure and desire to raise children that are of a healthy weight. In today’s society, it is becoming increasingly harder to do this because of the abundant, and often negative and unhelpful information that is available. I believe it is our job as parents to raise our children to be competent eaters, and to have a strong, healthy relationship with food. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is by far the best resource I have had while learning how to feed my children. Child of Mine, Feeding with Love and Good Sense, by Ellyn Satter, MS, RD, CICSW, BCD, should be on every parent’s bookshelf from the very start of parenthood. ![]()
