A family-centered guide to food habits, body image, and everyday meals

Eileen Behan’s guide addresses children’s eating patterns as part of a wider family environment, linking food choices with attitudes toward weight, confidence, and shared meals. It presents ways to assess whether a child is overweight, examine parental messages around food, and respond to marketing claims on packaged products. Practical sections cover meal planning, strategies for making family eating more enjoyable, and recipes designed for busy households. The book also gives attention to body-image concerns among young girls, framing nutrition as one element of physical and emotional well-being rather than a matter of restriction alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking family meal-planning ideas
  • Caregivers concerned about children’s eating habits or weight
  • Families looking for nutritious recipes for busy schedules
