Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Children are born intuitive eaters in a society where diet culture dominates. Parents are concerned about how to best feed their children, and nearly everyone is offering solutions on how to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic. But these solutions miss the most important thing: a healthy relationship with food.

The absence of this healthy relationship can lead to disastrous consequences: weight cycling, low self-esteem, and eating disorders can result from this fear-based approach to food that has become the norm for us all.

How to Raise an Intuitive Eater is a compassionate guide for parents to help improve the health, happiness, and wellbeing of their children. Based on their experiences working with parents and children, Sumner Brooks and Amee Severson understand that parents want their kids to live their best lives in the bodies they were born to have.
