About the Author

---

Early in her 40 years' endeavors as a parent, feeding expert, and family therapist, Ellyn Satter concluded that trying to get children to eat and weigh less does more harm than good. Children become whining food sneaks, siblings become spying tattletales, parents become police officers, and children get fatter, not thinner. In Your Child's Weight, Satter considers babies through adolescents and shares her evidence- and experience-based discoveries about what does work. Satter is the internationally acclaimed author of best-selling books including Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family and Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense.
