Here is what people are saying about the Healthy Kids : Help Them Eat Smart and Stay Active--for Life!
5 Star Rating  "If you have kids, buy this book."2005-02-10
- Reviewed By I LOVE yoga and anything that brings HEALTH!! from OM-aha, Nebraska
You will be so happy you bought this book if you have kids. It really educates you on the "junk" we are feeding our kids, and gives healthy alternatives that kids will still love. Not only does she give some good background on the healthy principles she believes in, she backs it with science.

We've made several of the snack recipes, and my kids and hubby have loved them. The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins were a real hit!!

It's a great investment in the health of your child. I'm going to buy copies for my friends and families with kids.
 
5 Star Rating  "easy recipes; very kid-friendly"2004-04-27
- Reviewed By Anonymous
Yes, the recipes are easy - you can prepare much of this food with kids 10 and over. Plus it's kid-friendly food, not as gourmet as Marilu's other cookbooks. I also really liked all the info on development stages of children - for people who don't have time to research childhood development, it was great to have the info in one place, and to relate children's health to what they eat, and what they do (movement & activities).

As a comment on a previous reviewer's observation about soy substitutes for dairy products; I have found plenty of vegan non-dairy subs (no casein) - they are becoming more and more available as demand for them increases. Also, there are subs made from other products (rice, oat, almond, etc) that contain NO casein. Going completely dairy-free has cleared up allergies, acne, and weight problems at our house. It's worth my time to search out the right subs.

 
5 Star Rating  "Just what I've been looking for..."2001-09-05
- Reviewed By Anonymous
Even though I am a vegetarian and eat very healthy, I have felt a little lost about how to pass on the importance of healthy food to my daughter. People are always asking me how will I handle certain situations when she is no longer a baby and I do not control everything that goes into her body. For example, how to handle McDonald's birthday parties or school snacks without making her feel like the odd one in the bunch. This book gives great advice on how to handle these situations in a positive manner as well as how to make healthy eating a lifestyle for the entire family. I also love the recipes and knowing that I can still bake homemade desserts for my family, just without all the processed sugar and dairy. I have already tried some of the recipes and they have been a hit so far. Thank you Marilu - every parent should read this book!
 
2 Star Rating  "Not what I expected"2001-08-24
- Reviewed By Amanda Spaid from Knoxville, TN USA
I am a mom of three children with galactosemia. I bought this book because I know how Marilu Henner deplores milk and milk products. Although most of the book deals with how to get your kids healty I bought it for the recipes for my preschoolers. Many of the recipes calls for soy cheese or soy yogurt. Almost every varity of these "non dairy" soy products are made from caseinate. This IS a form of dairy. The recipes given aren't anything new. They are recipes you can find in your cookbooks already on your shelf. She just removes the meat and dairy products and substitutes them for soy. If you are wanting info on how to get your kids healthy buy the book. If you are wanting new ideas on what to feed your kids look elswhere. I already knew carrot sticks and celery were better for my kids than pop tarts. I didn't need to spend $20 to read it.
 
5 Star Rating  "A BOOK TO READ, USE AND CHERISH"2001-08-02
- Reviewed By eleane from Greece
This is a long needed and long expected book. For so many years we have been told that "kids do not grow up without meat" (meat meaning usually beaf). Now there is so much information about why we should not be eating meat, that it is unthinkable to be sticking to that old know-it-all statement. The truth is, the main problem with a meat-free diet, has always been how to make it attractive to the kids. Well, this book offers so many tasty, nutritious and inviting recipies that all toddlers will find food to their liking. Plus, with all the sound information Ms. Henner provides in her familiar style, all mums, caterers, nurseries, etc. will find encouragement to stay and help kids stay meat-free, active and healthy. Thank you Ms. Henner! A job well done!
 
5 Star Rating  "Finest Book for Improving Diet and Exercise for Your Kids!"2001-08-02
- Reviewed By Anonymous
Please read this book and take action to help save our children from the health crisis that threatens their entire lives!

While they are many excellent resources for adults on how to eat right, exercise, control weight, and avoid harmful substances to reduce the risk of disease or reverse the effects of disease already experienced, little is said about children. This publishing focus reflects a national obsession with helping adults while assuming kids will be all right. Not true!

We are in the midst of a terrible tragedy in terms of undermining children's health before they are even through their full physical development. Ms. Henner deserves a huge thanks for taking this subject on, and doing a fine job with it!

The data are clear. Children of five often have unhealthy cholesterol levels. Childhood obesity and many related diseases such as diabetes are on the rise. ADD and depression are soaring. Allergy-related problems are often chronic by age six. Many of these problems will stay the same or get worse in adult years. For example, those who are obese while young will usually be obese as adults. That increases the risk for many diseases, especially diabetes and heart problems. The causes relate to eating the wrong foods, too little exercise, and parents doing a poor job of offsetting social influences (like advertising to kids, vending machines for candy at school, and supersize meals at fast food restaurants) in these areas. If your kids are having a lot of ear infections, are tired all the time, are grumpy or hyper alternatively, have asthma, or are overweight, this book will probably help you make changes that will enable your child to improve.

If you want a quick overview of the problems and the solutions, Dr. Peter S. Waldstein's foreword captures the key points.

While many books on subjects like this rant about the problem but provide little guidance, Healthy Kids is a happy exception. There's lots of practical advice about what food to buy and prepare at home, what to do when eating out, how to improve the food at school, ways to increase exercise, and suggestions about getting rid of and avoiding toxins. The book contains over 100 healthy recipes for foods that kids like, that can substitute for traditional, unhealthy ways of preparing the same or similar foods.

I was particularly impressed by the detailed advice related to each age group through college. The book begins by pointing out that 85 percent of children today don't get enough breast milk for proper brain development. Human breast milk has six times the fatty acids critical for brain development that cow's milk has. And cow's milk can cause allergies for some that lead to respiratory and ear infections.

My only complaints about the book were that it did not take a look at how blood type affects different youngsters; usually ignored the differences between what girls and boys need; argued for separating and combining different foods without making a case for why that was a good idea; and did not have a section on drinking enough water.

The sections on why to avoid sugar, white flour, the wrong fats, hormones, caffeine, beef, dairy products, and other artificial chemicals were very well done. The related sections on how to avoid them were even better!

Ms. Henner is ready to be your success coach in this important area. As she points out, your child's pediatrition got almost no training in these areas and probably won't make the right suggestions relating to diet and exercise. Even if you have a pediatrition who does provide good advice on what to do, she or he won't know much about how to help make the changes.

After you finish this excellent book and place it where you make your grocery shopping lists, I suggest that you think about how you can improve your children's emotional health, too. How many hugs and kisses did they each get today? How many kind words did you share?

Let's put an end to unnecessary suffering by our children!
