As a woman, you probably know what it's like to struggle with food and weight, and you don't want your daughter to suffer the same way. But for today's girls, the struggle can be even harder, as they're bombarded with false images, confusing messages, and media manipulation. Written by a nutrition therapist, this book provides effective, easy-to-use suggestions to help you solve (and prevent) problems - to stop destructive patterns and raise a fit, happy, healthy daughter. Nourishing Your Daughter includes information on:
- Helping her get in touch with her body, her emotions, her hungers and desires
- Specific tips on hot-button topics from junk food to clothes shopping
- The eating disorder epidemic: important information on anorexia, bulimia, and bingeing - and how to tell if your daughter's developing a problem
- The role of dads, siblings, grandparents and others - with special advice on joint custody situations
- Vegetarianism, smoking, snacking, sports and exercise: encourage healthy habits - without the battles
- Taking charge of your own food and weight issues - to be the best possible role model for your daughter
Growing up is a time of new responsibilities. With this guide, you can help your daughter take responsibility for her health, her appearance, and her happiness - by building self-esteem, avoiding food fights and nourishing her... with love.
