Sugar Is Not Love
Do you have a smart, creative, loving child who is also cranky,
inattentive, and sometimes downright obnoxious? If you've written off
this negative behavior as "typical" for your child's age--whether
toddler or teen--stop and think: Does your child have a taste for soda,
sugary breakfast cereals, and treats like candy and cookies? Does she
eat regularly scheduled meals or skip them? What, exactly, does he drink
and snack on throughout the day?
Your child's behavior may be linked to diet--specifically to the sugar
in obvious sources like sweets and soda and to hidden sugars that lurk
in many foods, fruit-based drinks, and "healthy" snacks like granola
bars. And if your son or daughter is sugar sensitive, misbehavior and
moodiness can be aggravated by missed or late meals and junk foods.
Now, bestselling author Kathleen DesMaisons offers you a workable
solution for getting back your child by changing his diet--without
creating a sense of deprivation, without setting unrealistic goals, and
without turning sugar into "forbidden fruit." This book offers:
- A step-by-step program, backed by years of research, for gradually
improving the food your child eats--you and your whole family will
benefit!
- Tips for navigating the sugar-laden world of birthday parties,
holidays, and school cafeterias
- Ways to incorporate healthy snacking and regular mealtimes into your
child's day, including suggestions for meals and snacks, plus recipes
Little Sugar Addicts isn't about strange foods, dramatic lifestyle
changes, or complicated menus--just support, guidance, and real-life
suggestions from other parents that work. It will help you make the
connection between the addictive qualities of sugar and negative
behavior and offer a healthy solution you and your whole family can live
with.
