Your child has the power to change, and you have the power to help! - Workman Press.An urgently needed manual to help parents and kids understand, together, the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to eating and exerciseâand get to the underlying causes of overeating
From pediatriciansâ offices to the White House, people are worried about childhood obesityâperhaps parents most of all. Even with information on diet and exercise, many parents feel powerless to help their children combat weight gain. Thatâs why this book goes beyond simple nutrition tips, to the root of the matter: The mind.
Â
As a therapist, Dr. Michelle P. Maidenberg knows that, when children and teens overeat and under-exercise, mental and emotional hurdles are often the key. Every child is different, so thereâs no silver bullet, but there are useful strategies. Free Your Child from Overeating presents over 50 of them: practicing âeating with intention,â identifying triggers that prompt overeating (from âI failed that testâIâll cheer up with chocolateâ to âI aced that testâI deserve a treat!â), and more.

By understanding their childrenâs feelings, personalities, and experiences, parents can start the conversation and help them learn to manage their weightâonce and for all. Itâs mind over muffin! - WW Norton
