Bad Attitude Reverse Your Child's Rudeness in 1 Week--With Food Author:Audrey Ricker, Brian Cabin "I loved this book! It was a real eye-opener. As a teacher, I have always known there was a link between behavior, nutrition, and student learning, but I didn't have anything to back up my suspicions. Also, when a perfect angel in the morning was a terror in the afternoon, I often attributed it to tiredness. This book helped me understand what e... more »lse is going on in those little bodies. This book is a wonderful resource for teachers and parents. I highly recommend it." --Tresa Cummins, National Board-Certified Teacher Norwood, North Carolina "Bad Attitude teaches us that food is one of the main culprits behind our kids behavior and their health. Congratulations-this is one message that desperately needs to get out. Take it from me, this idea works." --Fred Pescatore, M.D., Author of Feed Your Kids Well and Thin for Good "Doctors Ricker and Cabin have put together a wonderful manual on dealing with rudeness in children. While the focus is on how food choices can have a major impact on bad attitude, they also deal with other important topics such as food allergies, eating disorders, and good health habits such as hydration, sleep, and exercise. Especially helpful are the specific menus and recipes they include for those of us who need to be taken by the hand. My children are a bit older now, but my sense is that this approach would also make a big difference with them or, for that matter, with anyone at any age." --Richard Ruiz, Ph.D. International Consultant, Education and Language Professor, College of Education University of Arizona "I appreciate how this book identifies rude behaviors, encourages people not to accept such behaviors, and suggests positive steps for changing bad attitudes that are caused by poor nutrition. It lets parents, grandparents, teachers, and others know, through clearly presented facts, how food "treats" may be causing physiological and attitude problems in children. I especially liked the message that you can show how much you really love your children by being firm in providing them with healthful meals and ending their use of junk food. I also like how this book presents both a solid rationale for modifying eating habits and gives specific, practical steps for putting food reform into action in your home." --William J. Valmont, Ph.D. Director of Technology and Professor of Language, Reading, and Culture University of Arizona "Parents, grandparents, and teachers will love this delightful book. Its easy to read and understand and loaded with helpful information. Its basic message: What a child takes into his stomach plays a key role in how he behaves.The book provides parents with practical tips and menu plans, including advice for holidays. By following it, parents will not only be able to provide their children with proper nutrition, but they will also put themselves firmly in charge of the household." --William G. Crook, M.D. Emeritus Fellow, American Academy of Pediatrics, Author of The Yeast Connection Handbook "The authors have provided unbiased, easy to understand, essential nutritional information for any parent, but an absolute must for parents of difficult children. I will recommend it to all my patients." --Bruce Roseman, M.D., Author of A Kid Just Like Me: A Father and Son Overcome the Challenges of ADD and Learning Disabilities "As a social scientist, researcher, and ethicist, it took me too long to come to the deep understanding that is the message of this book-the nutrients and electricity in our brain cells are responsible for our behavior. Healthy humans require a healthy balance of these components. Lacking such awareness, we continue to poison our children and ourselves and experience dramatically devastating results. Every parent, teacher, and policy maker must take notice. We ignore the message of this book at our peril." --Ann Noe Dapice, Ph.D., Educator and Nutrition Counselor, Tulsa, Oklahoma "Again, Dr. Ricker has written a book that anyone can enjoy and use. The examples are extremely appropriate in demonstrating how children's physiological and emotional fluctuations are affected by the foods they consume throughout the day. The suggestions and recommendations Dr. Ricker makes for altering children's nutritional intake to control mood swings and health are first class." --Taralynn Hartsell, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Instructional Design, College of Technology Education University of Southern Mississippi "Parents of young children who are struggling with difficult behavior must read this book. It provides documented, concrete, and "do-able" suggestions that will fit easily in any familys lifestyle. This book provides insight into an often overlooked area of need for many children and literally provides recipes that put a child and family back on the right track." --Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D., SpecialQuest Director, Hilton/Early Head Start Training Program California Institute on Human Services« less
