Elisabeth Morse: My Child Won't Eat

One of the commonest worries that beset parents - particularly of young children -is the belief that their child does not eat "properly". The underlying fear is that either the child will make himself ill or that the child is verging on a hunger strike over some undisclosed issue. A parent's worry may range from a mild concern to a real fear of being threatened by a situation which they neither understand nor seem able to control. This book has been written for parents of children who won't eat. Although the cause of food problems are similar at many ages, the ways of coping with them will often differ according to the age of the child concerned. The book is therefore divided into age sections.
