In How to Raise a Mindful Eater, family nutrition expert Maryann Jacobsen shows you step-by-step how to nurture your child’s emerging relationship with food.

• Encourage an Internal Approach to Eating: Discover how to structure meals, set limits, help children eat based on internal cues of hunger and fullness, and pay attention while eating.
• Balance Food for Nourishment and Enjoyment: Find lasting ways to make nutrition rewarding, sweets less desirable, and eating well a pleasurable experience.
• Teach Body Appreciation and Self Care: Uncover secrets to teaching body appreciation, dealing with weight issues, combating the media’s Thin Ideal, and nurturing self care.
• Ensure Mental and Emotional Happiness: Escape barriers to raising mindful eaters such as stress, poor self-regulation, dealing with difficult feelings, and a lack of connection between parent and child.
