How DO you feed a kid?If the answer was simple, you wouldn't be reading this. But that doesn't mean it is necessarily difficult, just multilayered because (as you have surely figured out by now), no two kids are the same. This book is broken up into specific topics or challenges that are fairly common. You can read through and gain a lot of insight into feeding not just one kid, but many, or you can troubleshoot by skipping to the topics that seem most interesting or relevant to your kid. If you are in the crux of the drama of the "Dinner Dilemma" or on the verge of pulling out all of your hair on a nightly basis because of your "Picky Eater," you may want to focus on that section, and then target the other chapters as skills to build upon.Asata Reid MPH, MS Ed., founded Life Chef to teach cooking and nutrition for all of life's stages (www.chefasata.com).
