Book Picks: French Kids Eat Everything (Ands Yours Can, Too)

Like many mothers, Karen Le Billon worried about her children’s picky eating habits. All of that changed, when she and her family moved to her husband’s hometown in Northern France for a year – where they discovered that French kids eat everything happily.

Determined to find out how French parents did it, Karen discovered the strategies, routines and rules to teach their kids to eat well.

For example, French scientists have shown that kids need to taste a new food on average 7 times before they actually accept to eat it. This rule helped her kids to eat vegetables and try new foods.

The french approach helped her to develop healthy habits about how, when and why they eat.

On their move back to North America, she adapted the rules. She was so inspired that she wrote the book French Kids Eat Everything (And Yours Can, Too).
