Description - Raising Vegetarian Children by Joanne Stepaniak
This reassuring book recognizes that there are many types of families and many scenarios in which a child may adopt a vegetarian lifestyle, and addresses the needs of all those parents. This book debunks the myth that vegetarian diets provide inadequate nutrition for the needs of growing children. Separate chapters address the nutritional needs of infants (breastfeeding or not), preschoolers, school-age children, and teenagers. A "Resources" section provides lists of cookbooks, magazines, newsletters and websites where parents can get on-going support and even more information. The book also contains tons of child-friendly recipes. More importantly, the book addresses the emotional implications of a vegetarian lifestyle. Children who are vegetarian, whether by choice or by parental decision, are often ostracized (and criticized), even by members of their own family. This book spends equal time discussing the emotional aspects and moral implications of the life altering decision to adopt a meat-free lifestyle.
