Why Can't My Child Stop Eating?

Help for parents that tackles the real causes of childhood obesity and offers practical solutions. The percentage of overweight children between the ages of six and seventeen in the United States has doubled over the past three decades. Why Can't My Child Stop Eating? offers real-world solutions to the social, emotional, and physical problems of these children and their families. With the ever-growing childhood obesity problem, the audience for this book continues to grow. Practical: Why Can't My Child Stop Eating? provides parents with specific activities to assist in addressing and healing the emotional aspects of obesity. Currently, there is no book on the market that provides assistance in dealing with the emotional issues of obesity. Why Can't My Child Stop Eating? is the only publication to offer an emotional recovery plan for children. Since emotional eating is the main cause of childhood obesity, this will be an easily-proven yet important distinguishing factor in the book's marketing. Dr. Danowski will tap into media outlets that have previously interviewed her or listed her books as resources. For example, Why Can't I Stop Eating? is listed as a resource at Mountain Lakes PBS station, on the Novia Scotia newspaper The Aurora's website, and on the Health Magazine section of Channel 4's website. The few books that mention the emotional aspects of obesity do so briefly or as a means of rallying parental support to assist in promoting body and size acceptance but not as a means of helping children lose weight. This book offers real solutions to the national health problem of this epidemic.
