Does your baby or child regularly refuse foods or act out at mealtimes? Are you concerned she isn't getting enough nutrition? Do you worry that your child's pickiness might be caused by a hidden medical issue? For every frustrated parent, help is here.

Initially developed by coauthor Cheryl Fraker in the course of treating an eleven-year-old who ate nothing but peanut butter, bread, and milk, the Food Chaining technique has since become a reliable treatment approach. Food Chaining focuses on the relationship between foods in regard to taste, temperature, and texture.

Target foods are selected that are similar to the ones your child currently accepts without difficulty, gradually expanding to all food groups. Now, the internationally known feeding team behind this unique method shows you how to help your child enjoy new and nutritious foods, no matter what the nature or severity of his picky eating.

The guide also includes information on common food allergies, advice specific to special needs kids, as well as a "pre-chaining" program to prevent food aversions before they develop. Featuring a medically proven 6-step plan to identify and solve feeding problems, Food Chaining will help you raise a lifelong healthy eater.
