Simple and Savvy Strategies for Creating Healthy Eaters

In Simple and Savvy Strategies for Creating Healthy Eaters, you’ll learn more than nutrition basics for children. You’ll discover how and when to introduce solid food, how to continue introducing new, healthy foods into your growing child’s diet and how to deal with all of your child’s food issues, challenges or demands. Most importantly, you’ll gain the confidence of knowing you’re feeding your child appropriately and are providing the environment and responses children need to learn to eat well.

Additionally, Beverly Pressey coaches parents through menu planning, deciphering nutrition labels, once-a-week grocery shopping, food safety and how to handle those “fun foods” on holidays and special occasions. Best of all, Pressey’s approach is reasonable and practical. From one mom to another, she understands the parental pressures of daily life.

The information is priceless and the instructions are coming from a friend who’s been in the trenches of family feeding. Pressey shows us that raising children with healthy emotional relationships with food can be fun and simpler than expected.
