Most children are born with the innate ability to eat the appropriate amount of food to satisfy their hunger and support appropriate growth. Despite this, parents are still anxious and confused about how much and what to feed their children. In addition, many children are labeled as “picky eaters” or develop behaviors such as hiding and sneaking food. There is also a growing epidemic of dieting behaviors and eating disorders beginning at alarmingly young ages.
“Dr. Yami is a truly compassionate and incredible pediatrician. Her guide on intuitive eating for children is a fresh and honest approach to combatting the childhood obesity epidemic plaguing our world. As a mother of three myself and a physician, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants their children to grow up healthy and free of chronic disease. ”
