This book is about how to get your toddler to eat so you don't raise a fussy eater. But in reality, it also is about you eating more healthy, so that your child mimics the way you eat and doesn't get mixed messages. The author does a great job with the subject and she covers everything from how to handle eating sweets and veggies to having them be part of the grocery shopping. Her ideas are creative and practical and above all, very healthy and nutritious.Most parents are conscientious about raising a healthy child and that starts with what they eat when they're young. The nutrition they take in sets the stage for their health, even as they grow older, and it's what sets their eating patterns, usually for life. There are strategies for dealing with finicky kids, and ideas for getting them involved in the menu planning, choosing foods, etc. The book is very sound nutritionally and you can tell the author has had a lot of experience with getting toddlers to eat!
