"It is a must for parents of fussy eaters, those who worry about their children’s weight and those who just have a nagging sense that they could do better on the nutrition front. Jane gently but firmly makes the point that our attitude to eating and to food as mothers and care givers, will directly affect our children’s eating habits for the rest of their lives. It’s a wake up call to ensure that the whole family eats better and it is all the better for having been written by a non perfectionist mum of two who just happens to be a Professor of Health Psychology at the University of Surrey."
