Book Description
In Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating, a family doctor specializing in childhood feeding joins forces with a speech pathologist to help you support your child’s nutrition, healthy growth, and end meal-time anxiety (for your child and you) once and for all. Are you parenting a child with ‘extreme’ picky eating? Do you worry your child isn’t getting the nutrition he or she needs? Are you tired of fighting over food, suspect that what you’ve tried may be making things worse, but don’t know how to help? Having a child with ‘extreme’ picky eating is frustrating and sometimes scary. Children with feeding disorders, food aversions, or selective eating often experience anxiety around food, and the power struggles can negatively impact your relationship with your child. Children with extreme picky eating can also miss out on parties or camp because they can’t find “safe” foods. But you don’t have to choose between fighting over every bite and only serving a handful of safe foods for years on end. Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating offers hope, even if your child has “failed” feeding therapies before. After gaining a foundation of understanding of your child’s challenges and the dynamics at play, you’ll be ready for the 5 steps (built around the clinically proven STEPS+ approach—Supportive Treatment of Eating in PartnershipS) that transform feeding and meals so your child can learn to enjoy a variety of foods in the right amounts for healthy growth. You’ll discover specific strategies for dealing with anxiety, low appetite, sensory challenges, autism spectrum-related feeding issues, oral motor delay, and medically-based feeding problems. Tips and exercises reinforce what you’ve learned, and dozens of “scripts” help you respond to your child in the heat of the moment, as well as to others in your child’s life (grandparents or your child’s teacher) as you help them support your family on this journey. This book will prove an invaluable guide to restore peace to your dinner table and help you raise a healthy eater.

Book Description
Discover the Strategies That Helped the Most Extreme Picky Eaters and That Can Help Your Picky Eater, Too “Is this normal picky eating stuff, or is there more going on here?” It’s a question many parents worry about, and the same question one mom asked Jennifer Friedman in a session about her son Ryder, who struggled to eat more than chicken nuggets and french fries. In Stories of Extreme Picky Eating, Jennifer invites you into her nutritional therapy office to meet real kids struggling with serious food aversions, and learn the strategies that helped them come to eat a wider variety of nutritious foods with more ease. You’ll meet Jackson, an eight-year-old whose diet used to consist entirely of packaged fruit and veggie puree pouches, milk and crackers. You’ll meet Ruby, a bright and bubbly seven-year-old, who ate little more than sugar-laden baked goods and packaged snacks, and who struggled with an extremely sensitive gag reflex. And you’ll meet five more children whose stories are as fascinating to read as they are enlightening to reveal the root causes of picky eating. Backed by cutting-edge research—and including kid-friendly activities and intervention plans—this book will help you understand the complex issues that drive children’s picky eating habits, and implement key strategies that can set them on the path to enjoying a more diverse, nutritious diet.

Suffering Succotash
Author: Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101587008
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
As a child Stephanie Lucianovic lived for years on grilled cheese and created an elaborate system for disposing of revolting food involving bookshelves, holiday centerpieces, and, later, boyfriends. She agonized not over meeting her future in-laws, but over the peaches they served her. As an adult, this picky eater found herself in the most unlikely of circumstances: a graduate of culinary school who became a cheesemonger and then a food writer. Along the way, she realized just how common her plight was. It wasn’t surprising to discover that picky eating is an issue for millions of kids, but who knew there are even support groups for adults who can’t overcome it? Yet remarkably little is known about the science of picky eating, and cultural and historical questions abound. Are picky eaters destined to ascend to a higher plane of existence, and what happens when picky eaters fall in love or go to restaurants? How can you tell if you’re a “supertaster”? How does the gag reflex affect pickiness (and what secrets do sword swallowers impart to help overcome it)? Suffering Succotash is a wide-angle look into the world of picky eating, told by a writer who’s been in the culinary trenches. With wit and charm, through visits to laboratories specializing in genetic analysis, attempts to infiltrate the inner workings of a “feeding” clinic, and interviews with fellow picky eaters and adventurous foodies young and old, Stephanie explores her own food phobias and gets to the bottom of what repulses us about certain foods, what it really means to be a picky eater, and what we can do about it.

Book Description
Welcome to Valley Falls! A complete collection of 5 books all centered around the Valley Falls Strikers professional soccer team. Late Tackle When Cooper Holland, soccer star extraordinaire, needs a date for his sister's wedding, he enlists the help of his teammates. Set-ups aren't his style, but he's desperate. He's looking for a sweet, homey, girl next door type. Only Mae Nelson is anything but the girl next door. She's loud, talkative, and asks so many questions that his head is ready to explode. And not the good head. First Touch Shane Bradley took over the Valley Falls Strikers after the death of his father. His dad was beloved by all and living up to the man he was, is something that weighs on Shane day and night. Especially when he finds out his dad had another child. Even after meeting his new sister, he's torn up about the news and hits a bar to try and drink away to pain. He never expected that one night to change everything about his future. Allana Payne is on the hunt for someone to help her with a problem. She'd made it to the ripe old age of thirty-one without ever having certain things when it came to the bedroom. She knows there's more out there and she wants it. What she wasn't expecting was her lessons to be taught by the one and only Shane Bradley, owner of the hottest soccer club around and best friend to the guy her own best friend just got engaged to. She isn't about to say no when he offers to help and he isn't a fool who would leave a woman like Allana hanging. Give & Go When Ruby Mullen took the job as the public relations director of the Valley Falls Strikers, her only concern was working with professional athletes. She despised them. Turns out, the guys on the team were amazing. Well, except one guy. Dallas Ramos. He irritated her. Drove her crazy. His partying ways and womanizing were exactly why she hated athletes. Nevermind that it seemed like he'd made a change in his life. Tigers didn't change their stripes. As the star midfielder for the Strikers, Dallas was used to hard work. He had no problem knocking a guy out of the way, or sliding to take the ball away. His life off the field was different. He could walk into a bar and he'd have women flocking to his side. He didn't have to work for them. Or at least he used to have them flocking to his side. That was before. Before he decided he wanted more out of life than one night stands and women who didn't understand him. Enter. Ruby Mullen. She was constantly on him about something, yelling and arguing with him whenever they were in the same room. Somehow, that turned him on. He wanted her and it was time to do something about it. Narrowing the Angle Edwin Boyle has been in love with Hannah Temple since the day he met her. She was smart and funny and sexier than any woman had a right to be. As a pro soccer star, he had his pick of women most of the time. The only problem was, he didn't want anyone but Hannah. After five long years of pining for her, he was done. Finished. Until one night, everything changed. He's A Keeper Being the new guy on the team is hard enough but when Benji Melton, the Strikers new goalkeeper, walks in on one of the physical therapists completely naked in the locker room, things go from bad to worse. Now all he can think about is Cassidy naked in his bed, which would be fine if she wasn't giving him the cold shoulder at every turn. Oh, and did he mention that Cassidy just happens to be the owner's sister? Yeah, this is not a good start.
