RosettaBooks Release GETTING YOUR CHILD TO EAT (ALMOST) ANYTHING

Getting Your Child to Eat (Almost) Anything, a Harvard Medical School Guide, addresses the concerns that up to 50 percent of parents with toddlers face while table food training. Although many families cook a separate, different meal for their children with discriminating palates, this eBook offers solutions that allow mom and dad to include their child in a healthy, nutritious menu.

Harvard pediatrician and author Qian Yuan, M.D., Ph.D. teams up with writer Robin Westen to report that control, restriction, pressure to eat, and a promise of rewards have a negative effect on a child's food acceptance although they are often used with picky eaters. Tips will address how to increase a child's familiarity with and positive response to foods the parent wants him/her to eat, how to recognize the influence (good or not-so-good) that the parent's eating habits may have on a child, and when to suspect that avoidance may be linked to a food sensitivity or allergy issue.

Harvard Health Publications arranges the publication annually of more than a dozen full-length traditional books. This title is part of its first entry into "digital originals."
