Raising a Mindful Eater in a Mindless Eating World

Whether your child is obsessed with sweets, a big (or small) eater, or you simply want to avoid future eating problems, you are in the right place. 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.

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.
