"Without expecting parents to earn their registered dietitian degree by the end of the book, [Pantley] ably explains why a healthy diet is important and includes some kid-favorite recipes from best-selling cookbooks. Parents love the No-Cry series, and libraries would do well to add this to their collections."
—Library Journal

Whilst I highly rate The No Cry Sleep Solution, I was sadly disappointed by this title.
The first part was excellent. Her descriptions of a picky eater resembled my child to a T and I was anxious to get on to the 'solution' part of the book as I felt after reading this part that she really understood picky eaters and would be able to help me.
Some of her suggestions are interesting and certainly worth a try but there was very little that I hadn't heard before. I was very disappointed to reach the end of that part without finding any ideas that I really felt we hadn't tried, or that would make a real difference.
I was mostly disappointed though by the recipes at the end. After showing she had a good understanding of how picky eaters work, I can't believe she suggests such recipes including things like casseroles, that I can't imagine any truly picky eater, certainly not my son, would ever entertain.
I realise every child is different and perhaps these ideas and recipes would work for some but I don't feel it has helped my situation at all.

I am a big Elizabeth Pantley fan. Like many I started out with the no cry sleep solution which in my opinion is a must for any parent suffering from sleep deprivation, and moved on to the potty training, discipline and separation anxiety books. Elizabeth actually sent me this book from the US as it wasn't yet available in the UK and I was desperate to try it (yes, she answers your emails if you contact her).
My little boy is three, and despite BLW and being very adventurous at first her has turned into a very picky eater. This book put me at ease as it helped me realise it wasn't anything I had done wrong... it's fairly normal.
Then I started to put some of her ideas into practice.... before I knew it he was eating raw vegetables with dips, fruit slices with dips, trying a forkful of this, a spoonful of that. Now don't get me wrong he is still picky but I feel that at last he is getting a balanced diet which was my wish. He is definitely still picky but he will try things now, about 50% of the time and making a few changes to the way we do things at meal times has made a great difference.
Thank you Elizabeth!

Excellent Resource for Frustrated Parents
13 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
Another wonderful resource for parents from Elizabeth Pantley. True to her style, she is encouraging and supporting of parents who are struggling, frustrated, and exhausted with the food battles of our little one.
The No Cry Picky Eater Solution covers two "major" areas - the first, how to ensure your child is getting the nutrition they need (with excellent charts on what this is for various age groups - realistic charts that can actually be implemented), the second area, how to increase your child's repertoire of foods they will actually eat.
For the first point, Eliabeth provides ways to increase the nutritional value in what your child will currently eat by hiding healthy items in currently "acceptable" foods, by slowly transitioning into healthier choices (adding 1/3 whole wheat pasta to the standard box of macaroni and cheese), as well as a whole section of recipes (supplied by various authors) on how to add more nutrition to what you are baking or cooking... including wonderful catchy names for these foods - Lord of the Apple Rings & Pink Potatoes.
To the second point... how to increase what your child will actually eat. Elizabeth provides very helpful information on how children develop their sense of taste, how this is developmental and not established at birth - this leads to a different way to conceptualize what the "battle" is actually about and how to approach it. This area was our biggest challenge in our home... we had done the "sneaky" approach of getting nutrition in our son (now 4) but wanted him to "want" the asparagus and other "healthy choices".
Over the last three weeks, we have implemented and used some of the techniques - in the very large section on Tips, Tricks, & Tactics (nearly 70 pages) and have honestly been surprised at the positive results - tasting foods of different texture, shape, colour as well as using this while on vacation which Elizabeth addresses how eating out with children is another separate challenge. An example she uses in the book is how the grilled cheese sandwich at home looks very different at a restuarant... armed with her suggestions, we tested this theory with our son, ordering the always rejected grilled cheese sandwich from the restuarant and used some of her suggestions and amazingly, he not only tried it, but "chose" that he liked it and ate it.
I highly recommend this book to parents who are exhausted, feel they have given up or are about to, and who just want mealtime to not be approached with anxiety, stress, and fights.
Thank you Elizabeth for another wonderful book that is already producing results in areas we had nearly given up on!!

A helpful and reasonable book!
20 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
I love Elizabeth Pantley, but I still felt a little bit of anxiety before opening the book. I braced myself thinking that I was going to read about how I was doing everything wrong in terms of trying to feed my picky eater - I'm not strict enough, I hide veggies in other food, it's all my fault he's so picky, etc.
Instead, the book was comforting to me. It places no blame on the parents and instead chalks picky eating up to biology. It urges flexibility, which was VERY validating for me to read because I know that with my generation kids were frequently forced to sit still and clean their plate, something I never felt was fair. All of the tips in the book are totally reasonable (nothing impossible or even stressful) and they work well for my family.
The book also does recommend "hiding" healthy foods in other foods and includes some recipes that made my mouth water. I haven't tried them yet, but intend to soon.
Pantley's approach is nonjudgmental, helpful, and like her other books - gentle. This might be my favorite of her books.

Another GREAT Book in the No-Cry Series! Picky Eater is fantastic!
11 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
A great book, no big surprise here: I own (and LOVE) all of her books. Naturally, when this came out I pre-ordered it!
The book is helpful on every single page, don't skip ahead! Some parenting books have all the hints and help in the end, but this one is full of useful information and child-centered reasoning on every page. You'll find portion charts, recipes, and Showing healthy eating habits in young children is essential for their futures, and its our job as the adults in their lives (and kitchens). A big responsibility is easy to tackle when broken down into four ideas. The solution is explained through the Fundamental Four: Attitude, Environment, Amounts, and Rules. I nearly ran out of highlighter ink in the rules section, sometimes I forget to break the rules to ease the stress of mealtime. I could hug this author!
