"The book contains a wealth of information, including what foods
can provide your child with the needed nutrients, how much is
really enough, and what you can do to make mealtime smoother....
Give Peas a Chance helped change my perception of my little guy's
eating habits." Momma's Gone Over the Wall" - Momma's Gone Over the
Wall

'picky eater'" - First Step Nutrition

challenges, and in toddlers, eating can be one of the greatest
difficulties. This book offers practical advice and ideas for
feeding toddlers healthy meals that they'll love to eat." -

a toddler parent, I highly recommend reading Kate's book." - Baby

I'd had this great resource when my kids were toddlers." -
Parents
"There are very few things that cause more anxiety for parents than
their child's diet. Is my child eating health promoting foods? Is
his weight gain adequate? Is her weight gain too much? Why does he
gag whenever he gets a new food? In "Give Peas a Chance" Kate
Samela provides an easy-to-understand, scientifically valid
approach to feeding picky toddlers. Parents will now have a ready
guide to the nutritional care of this challenging group, and can
enjoy their child's culinary development rather than go crazy in
the process." - Jeffrey S. Hyams, MD, Head of Digestive Diseases at
Connecticut Children's Medical Center and Professor of Pediatrics
at University of Connecticut School of Medicine
"My children are past the toddler stage but boy oh boy, where was
Kate back then? Kate Samela shows parents of toddlers, there's no
need to press the nutritional panic button. Give Peas a Chance
gives sound advice for everyday eating dilemmas: what to do when
someone provides donut holes, why you shouldn't label your child a
picky eater and the top 10 foods your toddler should be exposed to.
As an R.D. I look forward to sharing this resource with parents of
the toddler set. Even if your children are older, these are great
reminders. One part parenting guide coupled with expert nutrition
credentials really works." - Lauren Slayton, MS, RD and Founder of
Food Trainers in NYC
"As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, I welcome this book. As a
mother of two young girls, including a picky eater, I appreciate
this book. As a former colleague, I celebrate this book. Kate is a
gifted clinician who brings a wealth of knowledge on nutrition,
growth and development and parenting support with humor and
insight. She does so in a way we can all access, no matter what our
role. Please pass the peas! " - Tracy S. Brundage, MOT, OTR/L,
IBCLC, CIIM
