Summary

Why Do I Have to Eat My Greens? provides the perfect platform to explore family issues and questions that children have as they grow up and try to make sense of the world around them. Each fully-illustrated spread poses questions around the theme of self-care, helping children to discuss problems around eating, wetting the bed, and going to sleep. Explanations and advice for parents and carers to help guide and inform their child have been compiled by two child psychologists.
