IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BROCCOLI

A mother and food sociologist shares an important message for parents: it’s not about your child’s nutrition, it’s about your child’s behavior.

In It’s Not About the Broccoli, Dr. Dina Rose presents an innovative and effective approach to teaching children healthy eating habits that focuses on how they eat, rather than what they eat. She shows parents how to improve their children’s diet by cultivating the three habits that support healthy eating behaviors – proportion, variety, and moderation – while offering advice on how to avoid the negative interactions that teach bad habits. By consciously cultivating a positive relationship with food, parents will give their children a lifetime of healthy eating. Dina Rose has a Ph.D. in sociology from Duke University. She teaches “It’s Not About Nutrition” workshops, consults with individual parents, cultivates her audience via Twitter and Facebook, and maintains an active blog on her website.
