Raw Kids provides inspiration, guidance, practical tips and resources for anyone wishing to improve their child’s diet. Whether your goal is to transition your child to a 100% raw food vegetarian diet or, simply to incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables into your child’s diet, you will find Raw Kids a valuable resource. Raw Kids helps parents understand the process and implement the changes necessary for a successful transition. The book offers practical advice on: Handling social situations | Packing school lunches | Nutritional issues specific to children | The diet-behavior connection | Raw meal plans | Kid tested recipes.

A note from the author: We began transitioning our children to a raw food diet over a year ago as an experiment to alleviate the symptoms of ADD my eight year old son was experiencing. I’m happy to say that the experiment was astonishingly successful! We have been delighted at the changes in my son’s behavior and capabilities, which occurred almost immediately. His moodiness, irritability and inability to concentrate were gone. His mental processes cleared, his memory improved and so did his performance in school. When we began the transition, I looked everywhere for advice and assistance.

Although I found many helpful people and wonderful books about the raw food diet, I was unable to find anything dealing specifically with children. There are many things that come up as you change your child’s diet; the special nutritional needs of children, social gatherings, disapproving relatives, school functions and sack lunches, your own self–doubts, children who don’t want to try new foods, and the attitude of other family members, just to name a few.

When my son’s story was published in Living Nutrition Magazine with the title Triumph over Attention Deficient Disorder – Kyle Stoycoff’s Story, I began getting inquiries from other parents eager to change their children’s diets and needing advice and guidance. Raw Kids is my attempt to fill this need. I hope our experience can help pave the way for those wishing to improve their children’s diets and quality of life.
