Mindful Eating helps parents and children build a healthy relationship with food together from an early age, cultivating physical, emotional, and social well-being, to savor the moment and discover food without performance anxiety or unnecessary worries, which risk turning weaning into a nagging duty or an automatic routine.

Eating mindfully means knowing how to “savour the here and now,” “putting the pleasure of sharing on the table,” but also paying attention to what, how and where you eat. It means passing on to one’s children curiosity and respect for food and its history and, last but not least, supporting the ability to listen to one’s body and self-regulate.

THE VOLUME

Packed with tips, strategies and stories, Weaning with mindfulness introduces complementary foods with Mindful Eating. At the end of the book, 9 stories tell the journey of the foods that arrive on our tables every day and invite us to discover the tastes of boys and girls, reminding us that:

• Mindful parenting opens up to versatility, to the spaciousness of the mind and heart, which becomes sensitive, kind and capable of benevolence even amidst the fatigue and challenges implicit in the new role you now hold.
• A mindful diet supports parenting and supports education and growth, as well as having a sustainable and supportive impact on the planet.
• Being mindful and eating mindfully means knowing that everything we are, what we do and everything we eat is linked by a thin thread, invisible to the eyes of most.
