It is essential to instill healthy habits in children, especially about nutrition and self-care. However, this process can be complex without the proper foundation. Heidi Schauster has nearly three decades of experience treating people of all ages, with a special focus on eating disorders. She shares her knowledge and debunks misconceptions about diet and body care. She also highlights the importance of raising awareness about body diversity. She addresses crucial issues clearly and concisely, such as the impact of restrictive diets and the prevention of eating disorders. Not only is her advice applicable to children, but it also teaches adults to care for and accept their bodies as an example for future generations. Nurture: How to Raise Kids Who Love Food, Their Bodies, and Themselves is an accurate guide with essential information to take the first step toward a healthier life.

I loved Heidi Schauster's narrative for its natural and fluid style. Her ideas are clear, and the explanations are easy to follow. She expresses herself as a friend who advises you through interesting examples and anecdotes. She also shares the experiences of her clients and her family. In addition, she advocates values such as honesty and highlights the importance of the support of family and loved ones to improve our lifestyle. I liked the cases where she mentions her interactions with her twin daughters because she emphasizes good habits and how to develop personal confidence. The topics she addresses are current and practical, with young people in mind, such as social media influences and finding private space. Nurture is an effective tool for parents to teach their children to appreciate their true nature and essence.
