Editorial Reviews
This is an incredibly well-researched, informative, and accessible resource for parents challenged by selective eating. Broccoli Boot Camp is a must-read, whether your child is a picky eater or demonstrates more significant issues.
--David Celiberti, Ph.D., BCBA-D, Association for Science in Autism Treatment

Feeding their children is perhaps the most basic job assigned to parents but also one that can be the most challenging. The consequences of inadequate nutrition multiply quickly and the ways determined children can defy parental efforts to promote good eating habits are many and maddening. Although billed as a book for parents, and it is truly an invaluable resource for them, it is also a tremendous resource for the professionals who serve them.
--Patrick C. Friman, Ph.D., ABPP, Vice President of Behavioral Health, Boys Town Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, UNMC

Forget kid-friendly menus or hiding vegetables in a cake. This book offers techniques that can actually help a child to enjoy eating greens for their own sake and to develop into an adult with a varied palate. For any parent struggling to feed a picky child, this book is a treasure trove of useful, evidence-based information and advice. I wish I'd had it when my own children were toddlers. I found wisdom on every page. Keith Williams and Laura Seiverling understand that every family is different but they also understand what works and what doesn't when it comes to learning new tastes. Most new parents know that multiple taste exposures are the key, but the difficult part is getting a child who is scared of new foods to experience those multiple taste exposures. There is no magic bullet, but Broccoli Boot Camp draws on the authors' extensive clinical knowledge to show how to create positive and patient methods for tasting new foods that work for you and your child. With their mantra that 'liking comes later', family mealtimes can stop being a battle.
--Bee Wilson, author of First Bite: How We Learn to Eat (Basic Books)
