Food Fights is a down-to-earth, practical guide that addresses the nutritional questions and challenges that parents most commonly face. Written by two pediatricians who are also parents, this book incorporates the many recommendations offered by government, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations, while taking into account the many behavioral, habitual and developmental factors that play a role in a child's diet. Medically sound, reality-based suggestions enable parents and caregivers to better put these recommendations into practice — offering simple and efficient ways to encourage good nutrition and healthy eating behaviors in the home, at child care, at school, and when eating out.
