While growing up has never been easy, today's world presents kids and their parents with unprecedented challenges. The upside, posits Maureen Healy, is a widespread acknowledgment that emotional health, resilience, and equilibrium can be learned and strengthened. Healy is an expert on teaching skills that address the high sensitivity, big emotions, and hyper energy she herself experienced growing up. Three simple steps are key — Stop, Calm, and Make Smarter Choices. While not always easy, these steps are powerful, and Healy shows readers exactly how to implement them. Children move from acting out or shutting down, experiencing frequent physical symptoms such as head- and stomachaches, or hurting themselves or others, to recognizing they are being triggered, feeling their emotions, and using mindfulness strategies to respond from a calmer place.

Melina Roberts, N.D., has developed a revolutionary program that introduces infants and toddlers to food that helps them develop their bodies and health. Many parents feed their children as if they’re adults, without ever thinking that perhaps they should not be eating like a fully-grown adult. The truth is, however, that organs and body systems mature at different times, which means nutrition needs at different ages vary. In this guidebook to promoting optimal health in infants and toddlers, you’ll learn how to: take advantage of the benefits of breastfeeding; avoid foods that can cause infants problems, such as grains, wheat, soy, corn, refined white sugar, and cow’s milk; introduce solids to infants and toddlers; decrease the likelihood of children developing allergies, eczema, asthma, and chronic disease. Most parents want to give their children a head start in life, but they too often neglect the most important area—nutrition. They introduce certain foods too early and feed their children poor-quality food, promoting a disastrous cycle of bad health. Help your children develop into intelligent, successful, and healthy adults with the insights and guidance in Building a Healthy Child.

Every expectant mother, be it her first or her fifth child, will want to read this book. It is an invaluable guide - in innumerable ways unlike any other book - which covers the subject of motherhood (even "before conception") and child care through the pre-school age. In this book a woman will find advice on how to prevent and overcome "morning sickness." leg cramps, and fatigue; what to do about weight control, and many other complications of pregnancy. Equally useful information will be found in the chapters devoted to raising a healthy baby. With new emphasis by doctors on the advantages of breast-feeding, the methods outlined will be extremely helpful to mothers who wish to nurse their babies. Other advice on feeding infants - which includes formula making made easy, prevention of spitting up, skin rashes, eating problems, and similar difficulties faced by the new mother - will save her much time and nervous strain. The author is pictured on the front of the jacket with her two children. Mothers can achieve health for themselves, actually - feel better during and after pregnancy than they have ever felt before and insure health and beauty for their children by following the simple diet rules outlined in Let's Have Healthy Children. As a nutritionist of wide experience, including many years of working with obstetricians and pediatricians diet problems, Adelle Davis presents strong evidence with case histories and well-documented medical references for her advice concerning sound nutrition. She explains in an interesting narrative the reasons behind today's vitamin and health food consciousness.

A mother equipped with Let's Have Healthy Children and its companion cookbook Let's Cook It Right will have the satisfaction of seeing her whole family enjoy the good health which proper diet can bring.
