I have to say that I was in need of this book.  It talks about everything from newborns to the Middle School Stage.  This book has helped me become a less worry wort when it comes to my son's eating habits.   I have learned to be cool and relax when it comes to my son eating certain things and not wanting to eat those certain things.  You shouldn't force it on your kids.  You shouldn't make them lick the platter clean.  You shouldn't give him all that he wants everytime he wants it.  

I think anyone who deals with children, or wants to have children, or is even pregnant, should seriously read this book!  It was a really informative piece of text that I will hold dear to my heart.  There really isn't much else I can say to you about  a "HOW-TO" book.
