Mealtime Stories for Fussy Eaters: When Nothing Else Works, a Little Distraction Does! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781541125247)

Some parents absolutely dread mealtime. It's not easy on the kids either. Some kids are just born like that. They don't like the idea of eating and end up developing a certain anxiety about food that can get worse if not handled intelligently.

Suhail Abbas had the same challenge with his son, until he started looking at it from a different angle. Trying to repeatedly convince such kids to engage with their food can be a recipe for disaster. Instead, Suhail suggests getting them to focus on an intriguing and imaginative story rather than the food that is on their plate.

Each story in this series of tales features clever children making good choices. In "The Magic Clock," a little girl discovers a clock that grants wishes at the top of every hour. In "The King's Outfit," a boy and his father team up to teach a king a very important lesson.

The heroine of "The Food Exchange," Juliet, is a fussy eater herself. She starts giving her food to a monkey outside her window. When Juliet decides to follow the monkey, she discovers a surprising secret that inspires her to look at mealtimes from a different perspective.

Mealtime Stories for Fussy Eaters will awaken children's curiosity. The values each tale teaches will stay with them long after dinner is over!
