Publisher's Synopsis
Prevention is better than cure and food education during the first years of upbringing is fundamental for the future growth of children. Aurora Mastroleo and Pamela Pace use testimonies and real examples of parents to narrate an increasingly common problem in adolescents and eventually in adults: eating disorders such as bulimia, obesity or anorexia. This book starts from the link food-love-message, food therefore becomes the object of childhood due to the relationship that the newborn has from the beginning with food and love during breastfeeding. The act of nourishment also becomes the first form of communication between the mother, the child and the family environment. Does he eat or does he not eat? offers a series of prevention tools and emphasizes that parents should pay attention to their children's feeding behaviors. The trauma caused by the difficulty of separating from the mother during the first breastfeeding, the search to be recognized or loved, rejection by others or dissatisfaction with the body during the primary school years can cause worrying symptoms or eating disorders such as anorexia or obesity.
