Book Description
Despite current efforts from the government, obesity rates in British children and elsewhere remain stubbornly persistent. While the vast majority know what constitutes a healthy meal, very few are aware of the emotions behind the food presented to children on a regular basis. And even fewer understand how these emotions are tied into childhood overeating. Finally, Why Can’t My Child Stop Eating offers real-world solutions to the social, emotional and physical problems of these children and their families.
