Why did you get this book? I was looking for nutritional information that was geared for kids.

Do you like the cover? Not bad

Did you enjoy the book? This books was actually a DNF for me. I read the Part One section, which was titled Setting the Stage for Success. It did have some good information for parents, such as diet changes can’t really be made for just one family member and be effective for that family member. And yet at the same time you can’t never let the other family members have the things they like to eat. To make real effective changes in our children’s diet and exercise choices and attitudes we might first have to change our own. Ouch!

The second part of the books lays out in detail the Twelve-Week Program. That is not the information I was looking for hence the DNF status.

Are you keeping it or passing it on? It is a library book and I will be returning it.

Anything else? If you have a child/children with weight problems you might be interested in reading this book. I think it does have merit.
