'If you are concerned about your child's eating habits, and there is one book you buy on this subject - make sure it's this one. It is far more comprehensive than a kids' cookbook, and will arm you with some valuable tools in for those times you are faced with a screaming child wanting McDonalds!' Gloss 5/5 review.Click here to read the full review.
'Around 90 per cent of Kiwi parents have trouble convincing their kids to eat healthy food. When faced with a tantrum throwing, KFC-demanding child, they'd rather negotiate peace in the Middle East than try to convince their child to eat their greens. Sound familiar to you? Pick up this book for some great healthy tips.' New Idea, 23 August 2010
'Persuading children to eat vegetables and not to throw tantrums when demands for junk food are refused does not have to be a perpetual battle of wills, nutritionist Karen Fischer says in her new book, Healthy Family, Happy Family. Particularly valuable is the chapter on marketing healthy food to your children whatever their age, and how to discourage tantrums. She gives numerous tips and many positive stories to tell them – "Brainy grains can help you play computer games so I've made you a grainy sandwich for lunch", "Green beans give you strong arms for playing basketball," or "Green vegies and fish can help you have lovely skin". There are also recipes (with tips on various allergies) and meal plans.' Otago Daily Times
