Critic Reviews

“If we are to tackle the obesity epidemic and, more importantly, build self-esteem and body confidence, we need to start working with young people from a very early age ... Cormack provides many practical ways to provide this nurturance, offering creative solutions to eating problems in young children and embedding these solutions within the practice of early years professionals. Case studies bring the book to life, making it accessible and very user-friendly. While it is aimed at professionals, I would recommend it to parents too.”

-- Dr Nicola Davies, Health Psychologist, Counsellor, and Author
Comprehensive guidance that will support the personal, social and emotional development of young children ... Both early years professionals and parents would benefit from reading this book. -- Emma Bacon, Author of Rebalancing Your Relationship with Food
Jo Cormack's book Helping Children Develop a Positive Relationship with Food does just that! [It] makes caring for children easier and more satisfying, and children will eat better for it. It's a win-win. -- Jenny McGlothlin MS, CCC-SLP author of Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating
As a pediatric dietitian working with families on a variety of feeding issues, I am so thrilled Jo's book is now available ... I hope to see this timely resource on the desk of each child-minder, preschool and nursery teacher in the UK and beyond. -- Natalia Stasenko MS, RD, Feeding Bytes
Only a few books have changed the way I think and Helping Children Develop a Positive Relationship with Food is one of them... Before reading it, I honestly thought I knew what I was doing in terms of how to provide food for a child, but Jo Cormack's book has flipped my opinions upside down and enlightened me to perhaps a more sensible and positive approach. -- Special Educational Needs Resources Blog
