How to Talk to Children About Food

Highly recommend * Kate Silverton, child therapist and author of There’s Still No Such Thing as Naughty * A book every parent should read - an eye-opening and shame-free guide on how we improve our children’s relationship with food. * Zoe Blaskey, author of Motherkind * This book is a gift to parents and children. Full of invaluable advice, it gets to the heart of why kids struggle with food and how you can foster healthy habits to prevent future problems with eating and body image. * Dr Kirren Schnack, Psychologist and author of Ten Times Calmer * ‘Debunks so many of the unhelpful practices [and] gives practical examples of how to practice food neutrality in families and places food in a sociocultural context. Thoroughly recommend this book.’ * Dr Tara Porter, clinical psychologist and author of You Don’t Understand Me and Good Enough * ‘HTTTCAF really made me think about my own attitude to food and whether I was bringing that to the table when I was preparing food or dining with my kids. […] It literally gives you the language you can use [and] made me feel positive that whatever has happened in the past, I can now correct that .’ * Lorraine Candy *
