Child-Nutrition Books

I recommended this book to all 'Latino' parents that want to have healthy children. Either you have an overweight child or you want to prevent obesity in a child; this book explains it all.

This book was the perfect, short-attention-span type of book for preschoolers. It was not a story, just good information. It mentioned eating whole grains, where grain grows, MyPyramid, and serving sizes and amounts. Great whole-page real-people pictures. I bought the whole set of food group books.

These books are so cute - they are really helpful when it comes to teaching the food guide pyramid to children.

The work describes the particulars of childhood nutrition.
For instance, food should not be used as a reward for children.
Parents should control sugar (especially processed sugar) and
provide meals consisting of fruits/veggies. Calcium and Vit. D
supplements are another important source of long term osteoporosis
control and bone health-far into the future.
Sample menus are provided to take the difficulty out of depicting
good nutrition. The author describes good/bad cholesterol.
Vitamins B6 and B12 are vital to control homocysteine levels.
Folic acid is another important vitamin utilized for a similar
purpose. At the appropriate time, a child's intake of breast
milk should be curbed. The book has a considerable literature
on how to raise children nutritionally fit for life. It is a solid value for the price charged.

This book has a simple but important message about being healthy. Not only is it upbeat and catchy, but it has a calendar of ideas at the end to use for a healthy lifestyle. This is a fun educational book that promotes healthy eating and an active lifestyle.

For the parent of a critically ill child (or even a well child), be it e-coli or any other serious illness, this book is a must read. It details the journey of one family through the onset of a child's illness to recovery. It is inspirational and encouraging for anyone coping with a seriously ill family member.

We are living in an age where mystery meat and contaminated vegetables are harming our children. Given the recent beef recalls, e-coli bacteria and hepatitus scares at restaurants, in/on vetetables at grocery stores and catered parties, it would be wise to read this book to better understand how to protect yourself an your family from serious foodborne illnesses. Buy it, share it, recommend it!

The book came a little later than I expected and I was started to panic because my class had already begun and I had reading assignments but the book came in perfect condition and it is exactly what I needed! The cost of the product although expensive saved me $35 versus purchasing it at my college bookstore.Thanks.

I am a first-grade teacher in the public schools of Guam, a United States Territory on the far western edge of the Pacific Ocean. My school's name is Machananao Elementary School. For some time, I have used thematic units to facilitate learning in my classroom. Near the beginning of each school year, I teach a unit on Diet and Dental Health. This year as part of that unit, I frequently played the cassette tape 'Healthy Habits for early learners'. My students truly loved the tape and every time I played it, they specifically asked for "Pump It Up!". You should know that I have children from about seven different cultures in my classroom. Some are from tiny little islands in the Federated States of Micronesia, (Pohnpei, Chuuk, Kosrae, Yap) and others are from either the Republic of the Philippines or the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, (a chain of islands immediately north of Guam.) I have long been a strong proponent of the use of music to teach all aspects of the curriculum and am currently researching the issue in pursuit of a Masters in Education. I want to personally thank you and your staff for producing the tape 'Healthy Habits for Early Learners.' Thank you sincerely, Royce D. 'Josh' Ledbetter

I read Dr. Taylor's book on Helping Your Heperactive Child and found it to be accurate and informative. It was very good! I consider myself to be a bit of an expert on this subject because I was ADHD-sa and my father was ADD and my son was ADHD so I know what I'm talking about. Mary Powell

Sandra Perko's newest book is just as she describes in her intro: a well researched valid assist in case taking. I have found this book to be invaluable for helping to clarify the homeopathic indication for a remedy when even after thorough case taking, the remedy remains a mystery. Just a heads up: The contents of the book are not a short cut to good thorough case taking, but you will be given direction - sort of the paper form of a Garmin navigation system.... designed for practitioners. Well done!!
