How to Feed a Kid Asata Reid

How DO you feed a kid?If the answer was simple, you wouldn't be reading this. But that doesn't mean it is necessarily difficult, just multilayered because (as you have surely figured out by now), no two kids are the same. This book is broken up into specific topics or challenges that are fairly common. You can read through and gain a lot of insight into feeding not just one kid, but many, or you can troubleshoot by skipping to the topics that seem most interesting or relevant to your kid. If you are in the crux of the drama of the "Dinner Dilemma" or on the verge of pulling out all of your hair on a nightly basis because of your "Picky Eater," you may want to focus on that section, and then target the other chapters as skills to build upon. Asata Reid MPH, MS Ed., founded Life Chef to teach cooking and nutrition for all of life's stages (www.chefasata.com). Asata earned her Master of Public Health at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health where she completed her thesis on the complexities of picky eating. She holds a Master of Science in Education from the University of Kansas where she developed a plan for integrating health and nutrition into PreK to 5th grade STEAM curriculum. She is a proud HBCUgraduate of Florida A& M University, and honors graduate of the International Culinary School at the Arts Institute of Atlanta. Chef Asata's love for teaching people how to cook led her to co-found the Cooking School at Irwin Street (www.irwinstreetcooks.com). She channels her passion for Farm to School/ECE initiatives into Small Bites Adventure Club (www.smallbites.club). As a wife and mother, Asata enjoys Friday night pizzas and slow family meals on Sundays. Her superpower is getting people to love vegetables.
