Description
Ellyn Satter, MS, RD, LCSW, BCD, family therapist and feeding specialist, gives convincing evidence in this groundbreaking new book that children gain too much weight because of how, not what they are fed. 

Amid the panic generated by warnings of childhood obesity at epidemic proportions, Satter’s calming and practical voice emphasizes supporting normal growth and development—feeding well, parenting well, and letting children grow up to get bodies that are right for them. Satter’s work is based on decades of clinical work with children and families, instructed by a clear understanding of child development as it relates to feeding, and supported by careful attention to the research literature. 

Your Child’s Weight: Helping Without Harming clearly demonstrates that “to resolve the problem of child overweight, we must do the opposite of what seems right. We must feed children rather than depriving them.” This latest release is sure to create controversy in the heated debate about childhood obesity at purported epidemic proportions. Amid food-company lawsuits and low-carbohydrate diets for children, Satter’s steady and reassuring voice comes through loud and clear: To prevent child overweight, fed well throughout the growing-up years.
