Mind How Your Kids Eat

Mind How Your Kids Eat is a practical guide for parents navigating today’s confusing food landscape where ultra-processed foods, oversized portions, diet talk, weight loss medications and emotional eating have become the norm.

Today’s food challenges aren’t just about nutrition — they’re rooted in habits, behaviours, and emotional patterns that begin in childhood and can last a lifetime. From fussy eating and neurodivergent sensory sensitivities to snack food cravings and rising childhood obesity, it’s never been harder to be a parent.

Drawing on over two decades of experience, Harley Street Therapist and author Alicia Eaton, invites parents to pause and reflect — not just on what their children are eating, but how they’re learning to eat. By delving into the psychology behind our eating habits, this ground-breaking book connects the dots between emotions, the subconscious mind and lifelong patterns.

With real-life case studies and simple strategies that fit into busy family life, Alicia shows how small shifts in language, routine, and environment can lay the groundwork for lifelong wellbeing. Because when we support children’s minds as well as their bodies, we help them build a relationship with food that feels healthy, natural, and free from fear.
