Stories of extreme picky eating

Jennifer Friedman, MS, RD

children with severe food aversions and the solutions that helped them

""Is this normal picky eating stuff, or is there more going on here?" It's a question many parents worry about, and the same question one mum asked Jennifer Friedman in a session about her son Ryder, who struggled to eat more than chicken nuggets and French fries. In Stories of Extreme Picky Eating, Jennifer invites you into her nutritional therapy office to meet real kids struggling with serious food aversions, and learn the strategies that helped them come to eat a wider variety of nutritious foods with more ease. You'll meet Jackson, an eightyearold whose diet used to consist entirely of packaged fruit and veggie puree pouches, milk and crackers. You'll meet Ruby, a bright and bubbly sevenyearold, who ate little more than sugarladen baked goods and packaged snacks, and who struggled with an extremely sensitive gag reflex. And you'll meet five more children whose stories are as fascinating to read as they are enlightening to reveal the root causes of picky eating. Backed by cuttingedge researchand including kidfriendly activities and intervention plansthis book will help you understand the complex issues that drive children's picky eating habits, and implement key strategies that can set them on the path to enjoying a more diverse, nutritious diet.", Provided by publisher
