           The Nutritional Psychology of Childhood is a systematic account of
           research on the psychological aspects of nutrition in children from
           birth to adolescence. It deals with two major themes: the development
           of eating and the effects of malnutrition on the developing child. Robert
           Drewett discusses the developmental problems that arise with eating
           andfoodintake,includingnursingandweaningininfancy,thehandling
           of solids and the development of food choice and eating habits.
           Nutritional problems are considered in children born preterm or small
           for gestational age, or whose growth is poor, in children who are iron
           deficient or more generally malnourished, and in children with physical
           illnesses or disabilities, including phenylketonuria and cerebral palsy.
           The development of eating disorders and obesity are also considered.

           this book will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals in
           psychology, nutrition and child health.
