How to Raise an Intuitive Eater Spiral-Bound | 2022-01-04

Kids are born intuitive eaters. Well-meaning parents, influenced by the diet culture surrounding them, are concerned about how to feed their children. Nearly everyone is talking about what to do about the "childhood obesity epidemic". Meanwhile, every proposed solution for feeding kids to promote health and prevent weight-related health concerns doesn't mention the importance of a healthy relationship with food. The consequences can be disastrous and are indistinguishable from the predictable and well-researched impact that dieting has on adults. Weight cycling, low self-esteem, deviations from normal growth, and eating disorders are just some of the negative health effects children can experience from the fear-based approach to food and eating that has become the norm in our culture.

Sumner Brooks and Amee Severson believe that parents want the best for their kids. They want them to grow up to be competent, healthy eaters, living their best lives in the bodies they were born to have. Intuitive Eating is more talked about than ever, and the time is now for parents to truly understand what it means to raise an intuitive eater. With a compassionate and relatable voice, How to Raise an Intuitive Eater is the only book of its kind to teach parents what they need to know to improve health, happiness, and wellbeing for the littlest among us.
