Book Reviews of How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much
Book Review: A good refresher to use with special needs kids
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read to our occupational therapist and Pediatrician parts of this book to backup my feelings on where we are headed in relation to getting my son to eat and stop the bottle. The times my son was in the Hospital it was suggested he get a g-tube and I found relevant information under the chapter, Feeding the Child with Special Needs.
In this chapter an eating phobic child is discussed and the addition of a behaviorist. It is also discussed how to teach a child the steps in chewing and swallowing. There are children who have poor muscle control and those that were tube fed that might have issues now with gagging and the muscles at the back of the throat get tight.
There is another useful chapter, Nutritional Tactics for Preventing Food Fights where the author was referred by another Dietitian to a Mother with a 2.5 year old who would not eat very much. The author wanted to go to observe the parent feeding the child but this Mother took issue with that. The alternative was to have the parent videotape the feeding process. I felt better realizing that I was on the right track when I had a nurse consultant over for the very same thing.
What I was not happy about in this book was the numerous times she made reference to another chapter where you will find this subject. I spent a great deal of time flipping around trying to get the whole scope on these issues. Most of the information I felt was pretty basic for newborns and toddlers. It is explained also about the developmental chart and how children are progressing at their doctor visits.
I feel the discussion of eating disorders should be included which this book talked on. I feel there is an anorexic factor that needs to be looked at but felt How to get your kid to eat...but not too much did not assist me in that chapter. This seemed to be more about teenage girls and the typical eating disorders.
I felt the book helped me learn more in seeing the big picture and I learned some techniques on how to get my son to take some food.
The Appendix has tools and strategies that include the portions and sizes for meat, vegetables and the food groups. The milk group portions are included as well choosing nutritious snacks. The index is easy to use for specific areas you want to read without wading through all the chapters. You can find pages of help under breastfeeding, dieting, feeding cues, genetics, hunger and obesity.
This book would help any parent who is at the toddler stage, a first time parent trying to experiment with solid foods and those who are working in the fields for eating disorders, disabilities and nurses aides.
Summary of How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much
Answering a multitude of questions?such as What should a parent do with a child who wants to snack continuously? How should parents deal with a young teen who has declared herself a vegetarian and refuses to eat any type of meat? Or What can parents do with a child who claims he doesn't like what's been prepared, only to turn around and eat it at his friend's house??this guide explores the relationship between parents, children, and food in a warm, friendly, and supportive way.
"Feeding is a metaphor for the parent/child relationship overall," says Ellyn Satter, author of How to Get Your Kid to Eat ... But Not Too Much. Satter stresses her "Golden Rule" of parenting: parents are responsible for what is presented to eat and the manner in which it is presented. Children are responsible for how much or even whether they eat. Early chapters describe basic feeding principals. Satter then stresses ways to develop and maintain normal eating patterns from birth through adolescence, and provides solid information (and information on "solids") to both empower and relieve all parents worried about how their child eats. Later sections focus on feeding problems, obesity, special needs children, and eating disorders. How to Get Your Kid to Eat ... But Not Too Much may be the most sensible and accessible book on childhood feeding on the market.
