Most children are born with the innate ability to eat the appropriate amount of food to satisfy their hunger and support appropriate growth. Despite this, parents are still anxious and confused about how much and what to feed their children. In addition, many children are labeled as “picky eaters” or develop behaviors such as hiding and sneaking food. There is also a growing epidemic of dieting behaviors and eating disorders beginning at alarmingly young ages. In her book, Intuitive Eating for Children, Dr. Yami provides a fresh approach to feeding your child beginning at pregnancy and continuing through the teen years. As a board-certified pediatrician, mother and health coach she aims to reassure, support and guide parents by teaching the principles of intuitive eating for children. In this book you will learn:
