great alternative to meds! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

If you have a child who is sensitive to different foods that may be affecting behavior, this is the book for you. Was very helpful in addressing behavior that can be caused by foods. I used it for my child and found good results. It is not the easiest thing to change your child's diet, but if the behavior difference becomes apparent even to the child, then you have won half the battle. A must try before you put your child on meds!!

Editorial Review:

An informative look at how the foods we feed our children can shape the course of their growth, development and behavior.

Editorial Review:

Everyone wants their children to have the best possible diet, particularly in those all-important first years of life. But parents (especially new parents) aren't nutritional experts. So how do they know if their babies and toddlers are getting all the nourishment they need?

Now, with Better Baby Food, there's a complete, authoritative guide that takes the guesswork out feeding young children -- from birth to 24 months and beyond.

Developed with the world-renowned Hospital for Sick Children, this book provides the most up-to-date, expert advice available, with easy-to-read information about every aspect of feeding young children -- from breast and bottle feeding through to the introduction of solid foods. Each page is packed with tips, recommendations and common-sense guidelines for parents, including important topics such as food safety and allergies, teething and tooth care, digestive problems, essential vitamins and minerals, snacking, homemade vs. commercially prepared foods, feeding while traveling, as well as vegetarian diets.

But that's not all. In addition to its wealth of nutritional information, this book features over 220 easy-to-prepare recipes, organized by meal and recommended age range. Each recipe provides a full nutrient analysis, and has been baby- and toddler-tested to ensure maximum flavor appeal. Start the day with Baby's Fruit Smoothie or Apple Breakfast Bars. At midday try dishes such as Lunchtime Pasta and Bean Casserole or Crustless Cheese 'n Carrot Quiche and, for dinner, Fiesta Tomato Surprise or Chicken and Peach Salad. These recipes are so imaginative and delicious, you'll want to make them for your own dinner table!

Every year, 4 million babies are born in North America, creating a huge market of new parents, all of whom are looking for anything that will make their sleep-deprived lives easier. With its combination of comprehensive nutritional information and fast-and-easy recipes, Better Baby Food is the ideal resource.

Boost your child's brain power! 5 out of 5 stars.
29 of 32 people found this review helpful.

With over 150 delicious recipes, you will want to try some of these recipes for yourself. Kids and adults alike will enjoy recipes for Berry Delight drinks or chicken patties in a soft tortilla. There are appealing and quick alternatives to fast food and non-nutritious snacks.

The authors Michael van Straten and Barbara Griggs have experience in the area of nutrition. Michael van Straten is a well-known medicine practitioner in the UK and is a practicing naturopath and nutritional consultant. Barbara Griggs has been studying and writing about complementary medicine for the past 25 years and is the health editor of Country Living magazine.

In this collection, you will find weekly menu plans for every stage of childhood, from conception to the teenage years. An interesting link between diet and allergies, behavioral problems and eating disorders is also helpful for parents dealing with these complex issues.

Nutritious food is now possible with Superfoods for Children. Delicious nourishing dishes can be made for your child to encourage healthy eating habits. There is a comprehensive guide to 130 top ingredients that form the building blocks of healthy eating for children. Vegetables, fruits, dairy products, grains, nuts and seeds, meats, fish, herbs and oils are then used in delicious recipes.

They do say that butter is better than margarine...ok, they get 5 stars just for that comment! I also appreciated the extra section on "Danger Foods." These are foods which used to be occasional treats but have now become part of our children's everyday eating. The authors explain why these foods are not healthy and in detail! I guess some of the items they discuss are not good for adults either.

Some recipes serve 4-6, while others serve 1 or 2. If you are at home cooking for your children, you will not have to make another meal for yourself. Overall, a very well organized book with some wonderful information for special food problems. With so much hyperactivity and children who find it hard to concentrate, parents might find their children become calmer after cooking for them at home and following nutritional guidelines. Studies were conducted which showed dramatic improvements in behavior within a week of being on a monitored diet.

~The Rebecca Review

Editorial Review:

Few American children go to bed hungry but millions are malnourished by even the most modest nutritional standards. Recommending 100 super foods and offering over 150 tempting, nutritious, and easy recipes, this book is the answer for caring parents who are short on time.

Finally, it all makes sense! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I'm an elementary ed teacher, a certified massage therapist specializing in pregnancy/infant massage, and a day care provider. Our second daughter is just 7 weeks old. Following a traumatic birth and two weeks in NICU, she's been quite a challenge. She has a few developmental delays, cannot suck or swallow, and is fed exclusively via a naso-gastric tube, which causes severe reflux. Everything in her behavior screamed COLIC, and it was obvious she was miserable! Even with all my education and experience, I felt like a failure, unable to help my daughter. Her Occupational Therapist suggested that she was overstimulated and verging on neurological distress. I began researching and trying to find anything and everything I could about newborn sensory input and "Sensory Integration." I checked out "The Self-Calmed Baby" and began reading it, hoping it wouldn't be a "cry it out" book. It is anything but that. In just two days, I have seen dramatic improvement in my daughter's behavior. She's been telling me all along that she's in distress, and I just didn't understand what she was saying. Now that I understand her "language," I can comfort her and most importantly, help her comfort herself. She has cried only about 20 minutes in the past two days, and I actually slept 5 hours at a stretch last night. I won't call it a miracle, but our lives have certainly changed. The only thing I didn't like about the book was his lack of knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding. Formula is *not* as good as breastmilk, and research backs it up. However, his attitudes about the feeding situation were very balanced - it's a social situation, not just a nutrition situation. The message of the book is that your child has the ability to communicate with you and calm herself - just pay attention and follow through with what your baby is telling you.

A Different Approach to Healing or Preventive Medicine 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This is an informative book on Chinese massage therapy. It has massages that treat problems from abdominal pain to the common cold. Plus it has a general infant massage for a healthy baby. The reason why it earned 4 stars, instead of 5, is that it could have better drawings of the massage movements.

Editorial Review:

Chinese pediatric massage becomes accessible for both professional practitioners of Chinese medicine and parents in this guide to its basic theories and techniques. It explains specific Chinese massage techniques for the treatment of many pediatric complaints, including diarrhea, colic, vomiting, constipation, excessive drooling, bed-wetting, night crying, and colds. Illustrations show how to apply each treatment.

A must have book if you are health conscious and dine out 5 out of 5 stars.
18 of 18 people found this review helpful.

This is the most up to date Fast Food guide in publication today. It includes many hard to find restaurant listings, such as Red Lobster, as well as the more common fast food restaurants. This book includes more information than is provided by most of the restaurants own nutrition guides. We highly recommend this guide to anyone that eats fast food, even non-dieters.

Over-priced information 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is on low quality paper with a cover that wrinkled easily. The information is good with a lot of "without mayo" and other helpful variations.

Outdated 1 out of 5 stars.

This book is outdated and does not have the latest information on fast-food nutrition.

Tracking God throughout the Ages in Various Cultures 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Richardson is a "big picture" person who has caught the overall movement of God in differing cultures/people groups over the millenia of human history. If one wonders how impossible the task of reaching unreached people groups is, this book will assure the reader that God has already gone before the missionary preparing the path by preserving elements of ancient knowledge of God within those cultures to open up the way for those who finally arrive at the doorstep of today's still unreached peoples.

"Do You Want To Make Your Child Whole?" 5 out of 5 stars.
15 of 16 people found this review helpful.

Before you do anything else; read this book! You will not find another like it on the face of the earth; unless it is linked to The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. I'll wager that none of your child's doctors or disability representatives told you anything about The Institutes. I found out about them purely by divine accident. At age 2 1/2, I began some of their "Multiplying Your Baby's Intelligence," methods at home, and my son was reading by age 3 1/2; and his memory and focus have improved dramatically. We will be going to The Institutes later this year, and applying all of their suggested methods for our brain-injured son upon returning home. I will update this review in the future, to tell you how the methods worked out. I believe Glenn Doman and Temple Fay were inspired men who began their years of research with nothing more than a sincere desire to help hurt children become well. What they discovered is you CAN increase brain cell growth; and you CAN create new pathways around the injured area(s) of the brain. Come on, 100,000 hurt children can't be wrong! Yes, it requires a leap of faith; but I already endorse this book and all of their programs. Perhaps that's the first step to making our hurt kids well---by first believing that anything is possible!
