Great resource September 27, 2005

I lead nutrition workshops for parents but I am now working up a class for kids. Evers book is just what I needed. The book has lots of ideas for making nutrition education fun and interesting for children. She gives lots of activities and crafts that can help illustrate the concepts she presents.
As a homeschooling mom, I like the way nutrition education can be incorporated into math, language arts, history, science, etc. However, if your child is in public school, Evers has lots of ways you can work with the school to get more nutrition education and healthier food in the cafeteria.
I also love all the book recommendations given. Evers lists a bunch of titles that will encourage children to try new and different foods.
One thing that is slightly dated now is that Evers spends a lot of time on the food pyramid, which has now been replaced. (However from what I understand, this new system is rather complicated so for children the food pyramid is probably much easier to understand.)
This book is a great resource for parents and teachers.

Connie Liakos Evers really knows what kids out there need. This bood is written for the adults. I wish we could enable people, kids, teens. adults, to choose balanced meal food items from menus and help people to picture balanced meals and make their choices easier at school or work cafeterias, restaurants, food services of all kinds. There's alot of responsibility in consuming food these days.
excellent information and material April 25, 2004

I teach an afterschool class to elementary students and I loved this book. It has so much information I can share with the kids. In my class we make a healthy snack together and talk about why it is healthy for us. This book helped me create my curriculum and put together recipes. The students (primary and intermediate grades) really enjoy my class because of it. I highly recommend this book, especially because Connie Evers is a Registered Dietitian. The knowledge she shares is superior to any other book I have read. I also highly recommend her workbook as well as her website. Great references and information for anyone interested in children's nutrition!!!
