Rating:
Summary: Beacon of Hope
Review: Someone has finally produced a practical guide for parents who want to raise children with healthy eating habits!

In a society where parents must compete with innumerable messages to eat fast and stay thin, this book is one of very few resources designed to assist them in their efforts to help their kids develop healthy attitudes toward food and nutrition. The Parents Guide to Childhood Eating Disorders is remarkably readable and the strategies which it outlines are upbeat and presented in an extremely well organized format.

As a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents who have eating disorders, I will surely be recommending Dr. Herrin's book to my clients. Quite simply, this book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone raising teenage girls.

Review: This book offers positive, practical advice for parents coping with helping their child work through and survive an eating disorder.
It is well written, well organized, and compassionately rendered by an expert in the field who is herself an anorexia survivor.
During a time when parents are likely to be distracted by fear and anxiety and yet must search for ways to help their child, this book offers hope and help, not fear and blame. I cannot recommend it strongly enough.
