About this listen

Confused about the conflicting recommendations about how to feed children well and prevent eating and body image problems in teens? Listening to Nurture is like having a conversation with a compassionate fellow parent who has done decades of fieldwork on the subject. Heidi Schauster writes from her nearly 30 years of experience treating people with disordered eating, her own lived experience as a recovered person, and as a parent of two young adults.

This book is a much-awaited follow-up to Nourish, Heidi’s award-winning book on healing relationships with food, body, and self. Nurture contains sane and sound advice that anyone who spends time with children or teens will benefit from listening.

This book is a life-enhancing tool for:

  • Parents and caregivers who have had their own food and body issues and don't want to pass them on to the next generation
  • Parents and caregivers with kids exhibiting body image concerns
  • Parents and caregivers with kids exhibiting disordered eating who want direction
  • Parents and caregivers with kids in larger bodies who feel unclear as to how to help them in the fat-phobic culture we live in
  • Parents and caregivers with picky eaters who don’t want to create dynamics around food that might lead to eating and body issues later in life
  • People who spend time with children and teens and want to create an inclusive, health-and-well-being-enhancing culture around them

Really was hoping to understand ways to help children with obesity (clinically) like for fatty liver and diabetes mellitus. It seemed she was claiming that you could still eat whatever - because my already over eater would regulate himself? Maybe because we were already at a point on our journey,beyond where she starts here. Would have really loved some examples of addressing those instances specifically.

Wasn't quite worth the wait for me.

In a sea of terrible child feeding and “wellness” advice, this book is thoughtful, compassionate and evidence based. A great book to share with any adult who hopes to guide children through the mess of wellness and diet culture without falling prey to its many traps. Easy to read/listen and follow.

Thoughtful, compassionate and evidence based:

I loved how straightforward, relatable, and compassionate this book was. It makes all of this information so accessible and applicable. It is deeply needed for parents raising kids in this culture.

Absolutely a must read guide to parenting around food and bodies
