What does it mean to be nourished?

Nothing could be more basic than food. However, food is only one part of nourishment, but it has consumed our focus and overshadow something far more critical for thriving - connection. We have lost sight of the fact that feeding our families is about human relationship and emotional well-being.

In Nourished, Dr. Deborah MacNamara shows us how feeding is part of the caretaking relationship and cannot be separated from it. Nourished reframes our approach to providing for our kids and helps us hit the reset button on our relationship with food.

As parents and caregivers, we need our kids to be receptive to what we offer but the road to the stomach must go through the heart. As relational and emotional creatures, our deepest hunger is one that food by itself cannot fill. This book gives parents and caregivers the keys to transform the everyday act of feeding our children (and other loved ones) into a most fulfilling and nourishing dance of attachment.
