First soup, then dessert

Since childhood, we have learned that we need to eat well to be healthy and strong. Now we "automatically" apply this approach to our own children, believing that they are obliged to eat certain products that we consider useful and necessary for growth and development. In practice, this often leads to the fact that we force-feed the child, and eating becomes a source of stress - both for the baby and for the parents. According to Maria Kardakova, it is more important than what the child eats "here and now", but what he will eat when he grows up. It is necessary to focus efforts not on "cramming" the necessary vitamins and microelements into the child at all costs, but on forming the right eating habits in him - this is the key to health for many years (and not at all a set of the right foods).

You will learn:
- where do parental fears about food come from;
- how to determine whether a child is getting enough vitamins and not overeating harmful foods;
- what diet can be called complete;
- what to do if a child eats little and constantly refuses to try new foods;
- how to help a child love vegetables and get rid of cravings for sweets;
- is it possible to feed children under one year old food from the common table;
- how to influence a child’s nutrition in kindergarten, school or when visiting grandma;
- what to do if a child is allergic to certain foods;
- how to organize a nutritional regime for young athletes or children with special needs.

Often parents who take the issue of children's nutrition very seriously worry about the fact that their child, in their opinion, is undernourished, or overnourished, or lacks vitamins, or eats too quickly/slowly - in a word, somehow "wrong". The book contains tools that will help determine whether your child is an "undernourished" or "overnourished" person, and specific steps to solve each problem. You will also learn how to keep a food diary and receive many tips and practical recommendations on creating a children's menu at different ages.

Who is this book for:
- For young parents who want their child to eat properly.
- For all adult family members involved in preparing the children's menu.
- For parents of children prone to under- or over-eating, allergies or food intolerances
