I highly recommend thus book to ALL parents, whether your child has health or behavioural issies or not. This information should be basic training for anyone involved with the health and care of children, professionals and parents alike. It could save so much heartache and frustration for so many parents and children, and at the very least equipe you to make good choices on behalf of your child and give them a great start in life.

This book is actually my bible. I would love to meet the auther Kelly. We have used it as a constant tool with our children who have asthma and food sensitivities. I also found a stress free way to indroduce new foods to my kids who are 2 & 4. I recommend this book all the time and will continue to do so.

Amazing expository text!
