Your Child's Weight: Helping Without Harming (Birth through Adolescence), Kelcy Press, 2005). This groundbreaking new book by renowned childhood feeding expert Ellyn Satter makes abundantly clear that focusing on the how rather than the what of feeding represents the only realistic and humane way of approaching child overweight. Culled from Satter's years of clinical practice. Your Child's Weight gives details of real-life experiences about parents' and children's pain and triumph as they grapple with weight management. Those stories and Satter's wise and practical advice challenge and encourage parents to raise healthy children with high self-esteem—whatever their size and shape. Satter's readable and accessible style of combining scientific evidence and practical experience makes this a cross-over book like her previous best-sellers, Child of Mine: Feeding Your Child With Love and Good Sense, Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family, and How to Get Your Kid to Eat…But Not Too Much.

About the author (2005)

Early in her 40 years' endeavors as a parent, feeding expert, and family therapist, Ellyn Satter concluded that trying to get children to eat and weigh less does more harm than good. Children become whining food sneaks, siblings become spying tattletales, parents become police officers, and children get fatter, not thinner. In Your Child's Weight, Satter considers babies through adolescents and shares her evidence- and experience-based discoveries about what does work. Satter is the internationally acclaimed author of best-selling books including Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family and Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense.
