Description: A pocket-size book of tips, techniques and ideas to prevent, cure and conquer fussy eating. Does your child decide they don't like a food before they've even tried it? Do they say 'Yuk' to foods they used to eat happily? Would they live off chips and ice-cream and never touch a vegetable again if given the chance? Are mealtimes driving you nuts? It's easy to think that children are naturally just fussy eaters. Yet, without realizing it, we are actually creating many of the problems ourselves with the things we do and say to our children around food. The right thing to do isn't always as obvious or as instinctive as you might think. Common habits like using pudding as a reward for eating the main course, or pestering them to eat their vegetables, actually encourage - not discourage - fussy eating! This little book tells you how to start again. It won't give you complicated child-friendly recipes or clever ways to sneak vegetables into meals - just easy-to-follow, easy-to-remember rules to help re-programme your child into a happy, healthy, adventurous eater.

Review: This is a great book to help you..well, get the little blighters to eat!! We bought it when our son was really young and have adopted these principles and approach to eating since weaning. It’s not been plain sailing, but it’s definitely helped and there are some brilliant ideas for things to try. I genuinely think if more parents followed this philosophy, not only would mealtimes become less stressful, but our children would grow up with a healthy and happy attitude to eating. Brill!

Review: I think the overall message of creating a positive experience around food and the dinner table is a great idea. Unfortunately, I'm guilty of doing all the wrong things with my fussy and strong-willed 4 year old. I started implementing the rules and I like how much more relaxed it is, I've "let go" on my side of the anxiety, knowing that I avoid refined sugar to the best of my ability and offer him the healthiest food I can. HOWEVER, I feel that this book is terribly upper-middle class. The author says that worrying about waste and finishing food is unnecessary nowadays, I'm assuming because of the huge selection of food at relatively good prices that we are offered today...But then 2020 came along! Food shortages and the increased price of food are a genuine concern now. I don't have the money to waste, and I'm sure most of us real people don't. Something that is not addressed in the book is: what if my child doesn't finish his dinner? She says that while pudding shouldn't be had everyday (completely agree), don't withhold it from your child if they don't eat their dinner. Well, my son is still going to be hungry if he refuses his dinner. I'm back to the same issue of preparing an unending amount of meals just to fill him up. The author disagrees with refusing to offer your child any other meal until dinner is finished, but that is very expensive and time-consuming.
