Packed with Satter's ever-popular feeding stories,Your Child's Weight offers clear guidance for professionals as well as parents.

About this Author

Early in her 40 years' endeavors as a parent, feeding expert, and family therapist, Ellyn Satter concluded that trying to get children to eat and weigh less does more harm than good. Children become whining food sneaks, siblings become spying tattletales, parents become police officers, and children get fatter, not thinner. InYour Child's Weight, Satter considers babies through adolescents and shares her evidence- and experience-based discoveries about whatdoes work. Satter is the internationally acclaimed author of best-selling books includingSecrets of Feeding a Healthy Family andChild of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense.

Reviews

  • Excellent resource for parents not only concerned about weight but for picky eaters as well -- Dietitian
  • My go-to as a child psychologist working with parents with mealtime conflict. -- Child psychologist
  • This should be required reading for all doctors and parents, even if a child does not have a huge weight issue. -- Pediatrician
  • It sheds light on why so many children have eating disorders earlier in life. -- Eating disorders specialist
  • Satter's work could revolutionize health in our generation. -- University professor
  • This book has made an enormous difference in my child's life. -- Parent
  • I cannot recommend this book highly enough. We have been following the basic principles in this book for three years, when my child first started gaining weight quickly as a preschooler. At first the methods can be scary and counter-intuitive (i.e., let your kid eat as much as they want at dinner time!) Now, three years later, my child has slimmed down naturally, without any type of dietary restrictions, and is no longer preoccupied with food. -- Parent
