Most parents worry about their child's eating at some point. Common concerns include picky eating in toddlerhood, sweet cravings and vegetable avoidance in the early school years, and dieting and worries about weight in the tween and teenage years.

The Gentle Eating Book will help parents to understand their child's eating habits at each age. Starting from birth, the book covers how to start your child off with the most positive approach to eating, whether they are breast or bottle-fed.

Parents of older babies will find information about introducing solids, feeding at daycare, and when to wean off breast or formula milk. For parents with toddlers and older children, Sarah includes advice on picky eating and food refusal, overeating, snacking, and navigating eating at school.

Parents of tweens and teens will find information on dieting, peer pressure, promoting a positive body image, and preparing children for future eating independence.

At each age, The Gentle Eating Book will help parents to feed their child in a manner that will set up positive eating habits for life.
