Food and Relationships

The new book by psychologist and nutrition and attachment theory specialist Deborah MacNamara ("Calm, Play, Develop"). Refusal to eat, scandals at the table, sudden and frightening changes in tastes, eating disorders – this is today's reality for many parents. Why has it become so difficult to feed children and adolescents, and what happens if you force food on them at any cost? The first victim of "food battles" is relationships, and the lack of good relationships, in turn, makes it harder to feed the child. Is there a way out of this vicious circle? Dr. MacNamara believes there is, and it lies in strengthening attachment.

Ensuring that a child receives the necessary calories and vitamins is helped by nothing other than your love and closeness.
