Book Reviews of Perfect Health for Kids: Ten Ayurvedic Health Secrets Every Parent Must Know
Book Review: Very glad I bought it
Summary: 5 Stars
I really loved parts of this book and am re-reading them to get a better idea about how to start implementing the ideas in my family. Having recently read several books on Ayurveda, I was a bit leery of the "10 secrets" thing, which seemed like a bit too much hype. Luckily, the author did not constrain himself to fitting things neatly into 10 secrets and instead put a lot of substantial information in there.
The chapter on seasonal eating really pulled a lot together for me. We've been eating vegetables in season for a while now, and I've been working on cooking according to my family members' doshas, but this chapter helped me see how the two practices could be integrated. Another thing about the book that I especially appreciated is that fact that the author is clearly a father. His descriptions of how he got his kids to take herbs were fun to read.
I do wish that the book had more to say in some sections. The section about moods and the sugar roller coaster resonated at first, but then the action plan described seemed targeted to kids who needed to lose weight. I had the same feeling of "what do I do for my kid?" after reading a section about dark circles under the eyes. At a certain point, many of us will probably need to find an Ayurvedic practitioner (or set up a consultation with the author via his website) to develop an appropriate plan of action. That being said, this book provides a great blueprint for maintaining health and getting kids started with healthy habits for their constitutional type.
