FROM YUCK to YUM

A child who may be more than a 'picky eater' might view foods as painful, thereby affecting socialization, physical and emotional maturity. From Yuck to Yum! introduces Matthew as a boy suffering from classic oral-sensitivity. He also exhibits several non-food sensitivities: an aversion to shirt tags; strong emotional reactions to brushing teeth and haircuts; an over-reaction to noise. From Yuk to Yum! helps parents and children understand why these patterns exist, and how they can be changed. Readers travel with Matthew as he undergoes therapy and shows immediate improvement. We share his pleasure as he adds one food after another to his list of foods, and his relief as peer pressure is reduced. From Yuck to Yum! is a valuable insight for parents and children, Pediatricians, Occupational Therapists, Speech/Language Pathologists, and other medical specialists who work with this often misunderstood condition.

5A MUST READ!  Dec 15, 2006
By MFPesquire
The author Kathy Hughes does a great job encouraging the discussion of a vastly misunderstood and under treated health concern. Many people think their child is just a picky eater and don't look into whether there is a more serious underlying issue. Kathy, I applaud you for writing this book, thank you!

5Great to raise awareness  May 02, 2011
By Elcee33
From Yuck to Yum is an excellent resource for parents and clinicians to understand the intricacies of oral motor and feeding issues. This book illustrates what it means to have feeding issues due to sensory processing delays, and it provides strategies to address the food aversions. Kudos to the author for this introduction to raise awareness for feeding delays.

5great intro to dealing with eating issues  Apr 25, 2009
By Carrie B. Noseworthy
This book was great for my five year old son with Asperger's Syndrome. It was also good for my three year old with PDD-NOS (both on the autistic spectrum). I was lucky enough to have Kathy Hughes as an early intervention OT for my son. She is an amazing OT and author with a great grasp on how to introduce eating issues and OT tools to the children who are affected. The book speaks on their level and is very friendly. I would also recommend it as a great visual support for your kids' understanding.

5Great information for children with oral feeding issues  Feb 05, 2007
By J. Wisnia "Judith Wisnia"
From Yuck to Yum is a fantastic little book that gives voice to feelings and questions that arise in children with oral sensory processing problems. The pictures are colorful and recognizable. The tone of the narrative is thoughtful, giving a stimulus to child-parent or occupational therapist-child conversations.

The book can be read over and over again as the child tries to make sense of his/her feelings about food. As the child makes progress, there are ideas for foods and mixtures that the child might try with the help of his Mom and/or an occupational therapist working with him.

I would highly recommend this book for parents and occupational therapists to use and share with kids who need to develop a wider range of eating experiences.

1Definitely not worth 18 dollars!!!!  Mar 31, 2007
By Erik Klein
This is a children's book with about 20 pages of text. The artwork is ridiculous...it resembles something I did in 11th grade health class for STD's. It is a story about a boy and his feeding issues. The OT provided his parents with a NUK to use, and then introduced some new foods gradually.
There. I've saved you 18 dollars.
