Synopsis

If you are worried about your child's picky eating, War & Peas has the answers you need. Therapist Jo Cormack turns conventional parenting techniques on their head, introducing readers to EAF (emotionally aware feeding). This is not a book about what to feed children, but how. EAF is a simple approach based on research and psychological theory. It will revolutionise the way you look at mealtimes and give you clear principles to follow. Once you understand the emotional and behavioural side of picky eating, you're on the road to making mealtimes happy again. Who the book is for: War & Peas is primarily written for the parents of young children aged 18 months to eight years. It is aimed at families where there are no complex medical reasons for problematic eating but somehow feeding has gone awry.

About the Author

Jo Cormack is a therapist specialising in working with children and adolescents. She is also mum to three daughters and has been a registered foster carer. Her interest in picky eating began when her eldest child was a toddler. Jo noticed striking parallels in the way in which her young daughter and her teenage clients with eating disorders used food to challenge boundaries and strive for control. She began to explore ways of disentangling food from feelings, and EAF was born. Jo blogs about picky eating at http://www.ea-feeding.com .
