Book description
When Sue Palmer wrote Toxic Childhood, her ground-breaking book that
showed how problems of diet, education, fitness and mental health
problems were all inter-related, she created a national debate. Everyone
from educationists and scientists to politicians, religious leaders and
authors got involved in the debate. The problems seemed potentially
overwhelming. With so many pressures across so many parts of our lives
today, this book is the one-stop solution to all our concerns about
raising healthy, happy children in the modern world. Sue Palmer is a
writer, broadcaster and consultant on the education of young children. A
former head teacher, she lectures widely around the world, and is an
independent adviser to many organisations, including the BBC and the
DfES.
