Child-Nutrition Books

Julian Scott provides concise relevant information for parents who want to know the why's and wherefores of their children's illnesses and how to treat them naturally. They are empowered with basics that are easily undertaken to help treat their child. Parents with a sick child/children tend to be stressed and sleep deprived, this book brings back simple commonsense remedies and explains how and why, also when to approach a Medical Practitioner.

Naturally Thin Kids is revolutionary in its insights and advice about how to stop the world's epidemic of obesity. I have observed, as a family therapist and wellness educator for over 25 years, that those who fall into the trap of doing food by the numbers invariably fail, because eating is an instinctual process, not a paint-by-numbers function. In this book, Antonello draws on her extensive experience to take the matter to the next step, by revealing exactly why the more you try to "diet" the more weight you tend to put on, and also exactly how to reconnect with your body's natural wisdom about when, what and how much to eat to be naturally thin. She even offers specific scripts on how to speak to kids of different ages about their eating habits and how to bullet-proof your kids against bad advice from TV, friends and the culture at large. I have already recommended this book to a number of parents who are concerned with their children's figures - and/or with their own.

This pocket sized guide is big on ideas. It furthers the ideas from the "New Beverly Hills Diet". Only get it as an addition though. On its own, it doesn't have enough information to take you through the diet. I reccomend it.

Susan L. Bell captures her own love and devotion to her son, Nico through her words and recipes. Her recipes are not only suitable and mouthwatering for children, but for children of all ages (which includes you)! This book is an excellent gift item for new parents or parents who've run out of ideas in the kitchen. My fussy eaters love the recipes!

This is a fantastically written book that is very informational on nutrition. I used it to for a school report and it was so helpful. I would definitely buy another book by this author.

Part of the "Reading Essentials in Science: Healty Living" series, Nutrition is a picturebook for grade-school children about the importance of healthy eating habits, how people in America used to eat, what serving sizes are, and what fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fluids do for the body. Offering basic scientific nutritional information in plain terms, with a glossary and index to help beginning readers, Nutrition also combines sound advice with its basic facts, including table rules such as "limit the amount of salt used; experiment with other seasonings" and "think like a rabbit - begin your meals with a small salad." An excellent life lesson book for young people, offering especially vital lessons in a modern era filled with advertising for sugary sweets and unhealthy foods.

This book sponsored by The American Dietetic Association gives a step by step guide to planning meals, such that federal guidelines are met. Recipes are given with special attention to different ethnicities.

The Nutrition Fitness Link is a really good book!! For anyone who is concerned about their body or weight, you should read this book to find out more!! I think it's more for teens or young women. You don't even have to be concerned about your weight, its just a great book to read! I think if you are a teenager, you should go get this book and read it for yourself. Again, its a really good book!

My son has read this for his recent curiosity in nutrition and was very happy with the choice I made for him. He said it gave all the info he had been wanting and MORE. Nice pictures as well.

As a second grade teacher in Philadelphia's inner city I was concerned for the health of the students in my classroom. Their diet and excercise habits were terrible. Once Philadelphia was ranked as one of the fattest cities in America I decided I was going to do my part to fight the bad eating habits embedded in young children. I realized that the best way to get a person to change a bad habit is to fully explain how this change will benefit him or her. The Organwise Guys:Basic Training was the second part to my very very successful unit on healthy living. (The Organwise Guys: How To Be Smart From the Inside Out was the first book I used) As a result of these two books and the wonderfully imaginative suppliments that make up this curriculum friendly program I have an entire class of very informed children. These students are now empowered to make healthy decisions that they choose themselves because they really want healthy minds and bodies. Thumbs up on this highly informative and motivational book and program!!! Parents and teachers may also benefit from the information presented in both books in this series. For teacher who have to teach health and wellness this book is a must! I am waiting anxiously for book number three.
