Description: From the toddler who only eats peanut butter and jelly on white bread to the six-year-old who insists on scrambled eggs and cheese at every meal, pediatrician William G. Wilkoff, M.D., has been dealing with picky eaters and their concerned parents for more than 20 years. Debunking common myths and soothing parents' fears, Dr. Wilkoff covers such practical matters as:
-- Appropriate nutritional guidelines for kids 1-6, including serving sizes
-- Dealing with nutritional saboteurs -- from indulgent grandparents to accommodating (or impatient) caregivers
-- Letting a child decide if and how much to eat at each meal (every child will eat when he or she gets hungry)
-- Resisting the temptation to whip up "special orders" that disrupt family meals and give the picky eater control over the family dynamic.
