The authors of the acclaimed Sears Parenting Library introduce two new books for young children to read with caregivers. Eat Healthy, Feel Great gives kids the tools to make their own wise food choices. Quick and easy recipes that kids can make with adult supervision are also included. You Can Go to the Potty clearly introduces the basic steps of toilet learning in a natural, non-pressured way. The text encourages a child's motivation in using the toilet, while offering tips to parents on developmental readiness. With concise and reassuring text and lively illustrations, these two books by the foremost authorities on attachment parenting are must haves. Both books include detachable posters as learning aids.

Great - even for younger kids!:

My kids (age 5 1/2 and 3) and I checked this out from the library. They LOVED it and asked me to read it so many times I've purchased our own copy. Even though we haven't read it in a while, the kids are always asking if a food is a "green, yellow or red light" food. I'm blessed that my kids eat pretty healthily, but we do battle with candy and other junk occasionally. I remind them that if they don't eat green light foods they won't grow or feel well. I highly recommend this book!

A great foundation:

This is a great building tool. Dr Sears teaches a simple system for making great food choices that my four year old has been using since she was two. The book is in two parts.

Great health information for kids!:

Dr. Sears book is a great way to teach your kids about healthy eating. They learn to be label detectives and how to identify red, yellow, and green light foods. I highly recommed this book!

A little too technical:

This is full of nutritional information, in a bright positive format, but I found it too extreme for our lifestyle. I wouldn't argue with the information, but my children are not going to give up all fatty foods or salty foods or sweet foods. I just want to encourage the eating of what I call "Pretty foods" like vegetables and fruits. This book went a bit further than I'm willing to.
