Very often, parents worry when their child does not eat as much as they think they should. Carlos González reassures these fears through the presentation and analysis of the reasons that lead a child to refuse to eat, the pitfalls hidden in growth charts, and the way a child's growth and activity affect their caloric needs.

He explains how problems around food start and how we can avoid them. In 'My Child Won't Eat,' we read stories of distress from mothers and the difficulties they faced when trying to force their child to eat.

Carlos González points out to parents that their child knows how much they need to eat and explains that their only concern should be to provide healthy food choices. Forcing a child to eat more than they need can only lead to crying, tantrums, and possibly obesity.

The book answers, among other questions:

• Why won't my child eat?
• How much does my child need to eat?
• Why don't kids like vegetables?
• What does on-demand breastfeeding mean?
• When should my child start eating solid foods?
