Like everyone else, I’m making up this parenting thing as I go along–occasionally getting it right, frequently stumbling. Feeding my kids is no exception. Even as a dietitian with a bunch of initials after my name, I wasn’t prepared for the curve-balls thrown at me by my kids when it came to food. And really, who would be ready for peanut butter toast jags, three-month dinner boycotts, and unreasonable little tyrants at the dinner table every night?
Fearless Feeding: How to Raise Healthy Eaters from High Chair to High School is a smart, comprehensive manual for feeding kids in a way that instills lifelong healthy habits in your children but keeps you sane. The book has sections on babies, toddlers & preschoolers, school-age children, and teens and focuses on three fundamentals:
- WHAT to feed your child: The nuts & bolts of the nutrition kids need.
- HOW to feed your child: The actions & attitudes to take.
- WHY your child behaves that way: How development & your child’s temperament play a role.
Fearless Feeding is written by Jill Castle and Maryann Jacobsen, dietitians, moms, and authors of two blogs I also happen to love, Just the Right Byte and Raise Healthy Eaters.
They’re also giving away one copy of Fearless Feeding to a lucky winner.
