| Children, the Feeding Relationship and Weight: Emphasizing the how rather than the what of feeding represents a realistic, humane and productive way of approaching child overweight. Satter shares true stories of parents’ and children’s struggles that illustrate how conventional approaches to child overweight lay the groundwork for a lifetime of weight problems. Based on decades of clinical work and scrupulous attention to research, Satter demonstrates that feeding children, not depriving them, allows them to be thinner in the long run. This research and clinically based, practical presentation introduces the Satter Feeding Dynamics Approach to resolving the dilemma of child overweight. | ||
