The American Dietetic Association Guide to Healthy Eating for Kids

Short description

Using a five-star criteria that rates children's meals according to nutrition value and eatability, this volume explains what parents need to know so kids won't trade away their lunches for sweets and fills them in on nutrition fundamentals.

Long description

Practical, real-world solutions for busy parents on how to train their kids to eat healthy This book addresses one of the biggest concerns among parents of grade schoolers (grades K - 6): Is my child eating right when I'm not around to supervise? Written with the full support of the American Dietetic Association, it schools parents in nutrition fundamentals and arms them with easy-to-follow guidelines so that breakfast skippers, lunchtime traders, and nutritionally clueless nibblers learn to make healthy eating choices.
