The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood: Ten Ways to Get Your Family on the Right Nutritional Track (Sears Parenting Library)

I first read this book from our local library. Loved it so much - I bought it as a reference. It is packed with life changing easy to read information to improve your and your family's food habits. A good portion of American health problems stems from our use of processed and trans fat laden foods. What can we do to make changes to give our families a better chance at life? We do not have to buy and feed our families this junk! Read the book to learn how to reverse damage and improve your and your family's health. Your gut will thank you. Behaviors will improve or will be eliminated in ADD children by improving nutrition. Read for scientific basis.Debunking fad diets Dr. Sears (with support from many other Dr. Sears), informs reader of a healthy life change of eating. This does not mean removing the joy of eating. But it does offer ways to reduce risk of cancer, diabetes etc. This book also includes 11 ways to feed growing brains - a must for all parents! Very good informative reading!! Thank you Dr. Sears and family! Happy reading.

Other reviews talked about this book as if it is derivative from other Dr. Sears books. Here's the deal: there's only so much one can write about the same topic. However, this is my first Dr. Sears nutrition book, and it will always be a reference book for me. I have used his techniques for getting picky kids to eat, and it works.Plus, I have lost 25 pounds since following Dr. Sears' advice on healthy eating and exercise. Thank you, Dr. Sears.

I was looking for a good basic kid nutrition book. I had seen Dr jim touting this on the Drs so I decided to give it a try. Somewhat dissapointed because it really heavily focuses on organic foods and makes you feel that those are the healthiest foods and all else is garbage. I was hoping for more usable advice. Basically- breastfeed and eat organic. Focuses on "PURE" foods - fresh healthful foods. To really follow this diet you need a fair amount of cash and time to cook.

While I don't plan on going health food crazy, this book offered many little things to think about. By making just a few small changes inspired by this read I believe I can influence my family's health.

This was the best nutrition book for not just kids, but everyone! Dr. Sears explains how certain foods effect our bodies down to the molecular level and it is all done in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in their health.

Really liked the healthy eating tips. Helps with suggestions on snacks and meals and what to buy at the store.

This is a wonderful book. Every parent must purchase this. Unfortunately not enough of us are educated on nutrition and this book does a wonderful job explaining it. Maybe more of us would be healthier if everyone knew all this info.

Love anything by Dr Sears. Straight forward, informative and helpful

Excellent book. Highly recommend.
