Evaluation comments:
“I like this book and can see that it would be helpful for some families trying to get their children to eat.”
“I can see this for parents of toddlers who are at the beginning of their food journey. I work with some children (ages 3-5) that have feeding disorders, and I think the strategies in this book are particularly good, accurate, however parents should be encouraged to seek help from professionals and their child’s pediatrician.”
“The book is written by a speech pathologist that helps children with feeding and swallowing. The book is meant to help children who have challenges with texture, touching foods, trying new flavors, and eating in general. The author seems to understand that the food journey for a child is a new journey for the family.”
“There are suggestions to improve their child’s trials of new foods. There are some specific activities to explore food up to the age range 18-24 months. There is a page on sensory exploration of foods and a chart showing the differences between a fussy eater and a feeding disorder.”
