How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much
I am a big fan of Ellyn Satter's work. I have read all of her books and have gained something new from each one. If you have already read Child of Mine, you will notice a repeat chapter or two, but overall new information that supports good child feeding practices.
Never hurts to review the division of feeding technique. It can take awhile for new habits to "stick" and learning to trust your child is difficult.
I have used this technique with both my children successfully. Many surprised people comment on how well my two year-old eats! No mealtime issues for us.
Summary of How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much
"Feeding is a metaphor for the parent/child relationship overall," says Ellyn Satter, author of How to Get Your Kid to Eat ... But Not Too Much. Satter stresses her "Golden Rule" of parenting: parents are responsible for what is presented to eat and the manner in which it is presented. Children are responsible for how much or even whether they eat. Early chapters describe basic feeding principals. Satter then stresses ways to develop and maintain normal eating patterns from birth through adolescence, and provides solid information (and information on "solids") to both empower and relieve all parents worried about how their child eats. Later sections focus on feeding problems, obesity, special needs children, and eating disorders. How to Get Your Kid to Eat ... But Not Too Much may be the most sensible and accessible book on childhood feeding on the market.Answering a multitude of questions—such as What should a parent do with a child who wants to snack continuously? How should parents deal with a young teen who has declared herself a vegetarian and refuses to eat any type of meat? Or What can parents do with a child who claims he doesn't like what's been prepared, only to turn around and eat it at his friend's house?—this guide explores the relationship between parents, children, and food in a warm, friendly, and supportive way.
