jafa: Re: What do your kids eat?

[Guest guest]

hey, jafa -

in this situation, i'd recommend the book How to Talk so Kids Will Listen

and How to Listen so Kids Will Talk, by farber and mazlish. it's really a

spectacular book that i completely and totally couldn't live without. it's

a pretty quick read and it gives you real tools to deal with this type of

situation. honestly, go out and get it!!! you'll be sooo relieved!
