Child-Nutrition Books

I'm very satisfied with this service from Amazon. My orders are very small and occasional and still the service is very good.
Thank you Amazon.

A very positive book. Great to see someone take matters into their own hands and become the positive role model that children need. Kids don't know unless they are taught, and obviously the parents aren't stepping up to take that role.

This is an Excellent Book. I would rcommended to all Parents who are looking to keep there kids free of Junk Food. also keep JUNK out of our Schools. They need to be Educated in that respect.

Kudos for this approach to minimizing sugar in our kids' lives and improving their health, learning, and self esteem.

The Kids Choice Cookbook is an excellent book for anyone! Even though I do not have diabetes (I have hypoglycemia), this book had TONS of tasty recipes and tips for healthy eating. All the recipes are very easy to make and have step-by-step instructions, so even little kids can learn to cook healthy foods and snacks. I also like how the author lists the exchanges for every recipe, so you don't have to guess. This book would be a great gift for a kid, newly diagnosed with diabetic. I highly recommend it!

I work in a daycare and this book has many helpful recipes for different age groups. I would recommend this book to other caregivers and parents. I even recommend this book to those who are just starting to cook.

I have never enjoyed a cookbook more! It brought back all those warm fun times I had cooking, with my mother and especially my grandmother, as a child. I love Mr. Radish and his "did you know?" and "just for fun" tips. I work in healthcare and I see time and again adult diabetic patients whose diets are inadequate and unhealthy. If we can instill in the children a love of cooking and empower them to make healthy food choices I believe it will positively affect every aspect of their lives. This cookbook can be a BIG step in that direction. I must note that I gift this cookbook to all the children in my life (nephews, friends kids, etc.) as healthy eating and alot of fun are good things for all children! I also recommend Colleen Bartley's cookbook for big kid's called First Choice...but that's a review for another day. Enjoy the good eats!

I refer to this book often. It provides very helpful information about diagnosing and dealing with children with ADD/ADHD. When my child was first diagnosed as ADD, this book helped me realize that it was a fair diagnosis. Every time I get frustrated with the way teachers deal with him, or need to be reminded about all the implications of his being ADD, this is the book I read. I understand that there is a revised edition coming out soon. I plan to get it as soon as it is out. Dr. Umansky provides professional information with personal stories as examples, which make the book accessible to parents and professionals.

THIS WAS THE FIRST BOOK ON ADD THAT I PURCHASED AFTER MY SON WAS DIAGNOSED. IT HELPED ME AND MY HUSBAND TO UNDERSTAND OUR SON'S CONDITION AND GAVE US TOOLS TO HELP HIM. I ALSO GAVE THIS BOOK TO HIS TEACHERS AND IT GAVE THEM ALOT OF INSIGHT AS WELL. UNLESS THERE IS MANDATORY TRAINING FOR TEACHERS IT'S UP TO US TO MAKE SCHOOL AN AS POSITIVE EXPEREANCE AS POSIBLE FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THIS BOOK IS ONE WAY.

The book was interesting and reasonably complete. It was well-written for a target audience of parents and teachers of ADD kids and offered a broader perspective on what ADD is than many books. The book's principal weakness pertains to its discussion of the legal issues surrounding ADD and educational accommodations. While the discussion of IDEA was exceptionally thorough and complete, there was no mention whatsoever of Section 504 laws or accommodation plans. With many parents and school districts reluctant to implement special ed services for ADD, Section 504 plans have proven to be a godsend for parents in getting schools to flex to the needs of their ADD children without having to implement special services or IEPs. I would recommend the book with this one caveat.

A fine book for any breastfeeding or motherhood library. Easy to read prenatal or post-partum, this book provides alternative methods for troubleshooting breastfeedings most common problems.

There are many, many books out there on breastfeeding management but this is the first book I've seen that balances the technical with the emotional. I have been searching for a long time for a guide to natural therapies for breastfeeding mothers and I've finally found it! The Author includes information on breath awareness, massage, aromatherapy, homeopathy, Bach Flower remedies, and much more. With practical how to imformation and an ample resource appendix this is a book well worth owning - it sits on my shelf right next to my Womanly Art Of Breastfeeding!

I agree. I bought my copy in the bookstore after combing through all the others on the shelf. I'm still referring to it today with my first baby. I am ordering it now as a gift through Amazon to send to my cousin who will be breastfeeding for the first time. This book is much more informative, provides a more holistic versus clinical approach and explains more of the emotional as well as scientific benefits of breastfeeding. Recent publishing makes it much more timely for this new movement back to breastfeeding.

Very cute cookbook, a bit over my child's head and ability, but he's young. There are plenty of fun recipes to choose from, but be forewarned, plenty of artificial sweeteners and processed food. Fun, but not whole food, if that is what you're used to.

In "Cooking Up Fun for Kids with Diabetes" the authors dedicate the first two chapters to providing a basic understanding of diabetes. The first chapter discusses diabetes with a slant toward helping a child understand it. The second one is from the perspective of what the adult parent needs to know.

The book contains simple recipes rated on a one, two, or three hand system with one being the easiest and three being the hardest. Each recipe provides information on serving size, exchanges, calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, fiber, protein, and carbohydrates. Some are just easy recipes that a child can do; others have been adapted to make it more fun for children. For example, an ordinary grilled cheese sandwich becomes a toasted cheese person.

"Cooking Up Fun for Kids with Diabetes" is a fun book of recipes and food related crafts for any child and a recommended read.

I was delighted to read about this cookbook in my local newspaper and ran out to buy a copy right away. My eleven year old daughter was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so this book about nutrition/healthy cooking is an answer to my prayers. In addition to the fun and great-tasting recipes with complete nutrition information, there are clear explanations about the type 1 and type 2 diabetes conditions and even some fun "non-food" projects. My daughter and I spent a weekend afternoon in the kitchen making Fruit Filled Quesadillas- messy, but fun!

Dr. Caroline Ashworth tries to be kind to parents about this childhood obesity epidemic, but the truth is that we set the standard for our kids, no matter that we don`t like it sometimes. Parents who sit around stuffing their faces with the wrong kind of food have a profound effect on their children. At least the author gives people plenty of ideas about how to turn this around and save these kids from life-long health problems.

Dr. Carolyn Ashworth tells the story of childhood obesity as it should be told; our kids are too fat and we, as parents, are the only ones who can do anything about it. But unlike everything else I've read on this subject, Defeating the Child Obesity Epidemic doesn't just wail and moan about the deadly effects of this problem. The author goes into great detail, telling parents how to get their kids to eat better, exercise more and get up off the couch. She reemphasizes the idea of individual responsibility and extends it to the concept of the entire family taking responsibility for itself and each other. Not all of her ideas will work in every family, but this is a good place for parents to start.

This is a well organized and insightful book on a serious medical problem. It provides important facts about the adverse health consequences of obesity and real world examples. "Defeating the Child Obesity Epidemic' is easy to read and offers practical day to day solutions based on clearly presented medical information and the experience of a pediatrician and mother. The margin notes are particularly interesting and informative and the solutions make good sense.

I gave a copy of this book to each of my grandsons, along with a hand-made apron with a large central pocket. They have each found something they like to prepare in their book. What a wonderful way to teach boys they can cook and do it well.

i loved this cookbook when i was little and still enjoy it now. i read it over and over again. it's actually quite charming and has a nice little story line to go along with the recipes and it's full of interesting nutrition facts. it does have recipes for sweets, but kids deserve treats now and then, and homemade sweets are certainly better than candy or any of those horrible snacks that are filled with chemicals and food-coloring. overall the food is very "wholesome". BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR KIDS! adults have a responsibility to encourage healthy eating and this book will help.

This has to be the best cookbook for kids ever written. I remember loving this book as a young girl and checking it out of the library constantly. The reason that I liked it so much is because, not only does it give you recipies, but it also follows a storyline. I also loved this book because the recipies werent too complicated and actually WORKED, which was very important for me, the perfectionist 10 year old. This is an awesome book for any kid, boy or girl, and I guarantee that they will enjoy it as much as I did. I also recommend any of the other books written by Christina Bjork and Lena Anderson.

I find that the author made very valid statements on the state of our society regarding obesity. The very wordy book had a tendency to seem redundant and offered "what is" but not necessarily "what should be done." I did enjoy the book, found it very informative, and concur with the contents.

This is a well-written and thoroughly researched book on the epidemic of childhood obesity. The author spends a lot of time on solutions---incorporating exercise in the schools and at home, changing diets and she also discusses (though in less depth) more radical solutions such as surgery and in-patient treatment.

At the end, I had little hope that anything would change in America. Too many studies show great reluctance on the part of parents and schools to make any real, lasting changes.

Dr. Susan Okie has done exhaustive research into one of the most pressing medical issues of today - childhood obesity. The 322 page hardcover book explores the issues surrounding this problem that continues to grow.

Obesity not only effects a child's self-esteem but can lead to medical problems; high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and other conditions.

In her book, Okie examines the causes and cures for obesity. Citing both nature and nurture, Okie gives true life examples of what people are doing to combat the problem. With over 22 million children considered to be "fat" in today's society, Okie looks at ways to lower the obesity rate.

This book is a very valuable read for parents, health workers and others to recognize how rampant the problem is and what to do about it. Written in a friendly yet authoritative format Okie, covers a lot of material.

Parents will find it helpful to learn what others have done to help their overweight child become healthier or to help prevent their child from becoming overweight. Health workers will appreciate the vast research Okie has done.

Okie does skip around a little in the book which does interrupt the flow of the book ie in one paragraph she may jump from one idea to the next, but overall the book flows pretty well. She covers alot of ground!

A very good look at childhood obesity one of our nation's most serious problems!

This would be a great book to give as a babyshower gift, wish I would have read it when I was pregnant. Book is wrote in a Question/answer format and is very easy to read. Wish doctor would give a list of age appropriate foods to serve. Alot of books I have read will give suggestions but I feel safer hearing it from a doctor. If you find it used I'd buy that copy.

This book is an easy read and well written. I wouldn't buy it as your only infant feeding reference, but I do consider it a must-have. As the parent of an infant with gastro reflux, I especially recommend it for other reflux parents -as this book is written by a pediatric gastroenterologist who doesn't skip over reflux in a quick, brief paragraph like other baby books. I do appreciate Dr. Vartabedian's inclusion of details such as the minimum calories needed per day by weight (though he does discourage calorie counting!). One extremely interesting part of the book is where he discusses low-iron formulas. After 6 mos., about 27 oz. of formula a day meets an infant's daily iron requirements whereas an infant on a low-iron formula would need 83 oz in one day to fulfill the body'd iron needs. -This is great info to tell your mother-in-laws who claim that your baby's digestive problems or gas are iron-related and insist on a formula switch. This is a book that you do not have to read cover-to-cover. You can simply go to the section appliable to your baby. The index is very comprehensive as well. An over all good book.

First Foods is so informative and very easy to read. I was so scared to start feeding my daughter solids, but this book answered all my questions and provided reassurance. I really liked the question and answer format. I am lucky enough to have Dr. Vartabedian as my daughter's doctor. She had horrible reflux - but now she is doing great and eating much better. I think every first time parent should get this book!

The book shows how one mother helped her son after a brain-trauma injury. The doctors told her to put him away, but she didn't listen. His story plus ways of helping your child are included in this marvelous wor

This book was a life changer for me. My son has ADD and life was always like rolling a large boulder uphill-exhausting mentally, physically, spiritually. I had two other children who needed me too. This book offered me hope that food could make a difference in the behavior and success of my child. The stories in the book are from real life and show the body's ability to heal a large number of conditions and allergic/sensitive responses if given the proper nutrients. Dr Lendon Smith in the forward says "this is the book I wish I had written". I never owned my own copy, but checked it out from the library again and again. Referred people looking for various kinds of help for their children to this book repeatedly. I know people whose children's lives have probably been saved by the wisdom from this book. It is from one of these that I learned of the availability of this book from Amazon.com. This is one of just 3 or 4 books that have affected me like this in my life. This is a great book if you have children with physical/behavioral problems that the medical community seems to have no answers for except dangerous medications.

After discovering my son was allergic to a third of his normal diet I was faced with a dilemma - How to feed a nutritional diet without overloading the child with the foods he could still eat. Although most allergy books suggest rotating foods and food families this is the only book I found with easy to follow charts (which you can copy and put to use immediately) and step by step guides to adapting a rotation diet for the whole family. Great insprirational success stories also!
