"If you're the parent of a 'picky eater,' you've likely tried everything to get your kiddo to eat their veggies. And, like many other parents, you may have noticed these tactics often fail... Based on the powerful and practical Table Talk Method, this book serves up the familiar yet largely unexamined phrases parents say to kids at mealtime, and reveals how using certain words can actually sabotage your efforts to nurture healthy eating habits. You'll find detailed scripts and mindful ways to positively impact eating behavior and development, so you can decrease conflict over food and teach your kids the skills they need to thrive."--Adapted from back cover.
