To fight the epidemic known as childhood obesity, to empower our young children to not only learn how much they need to eat to keep their bodies running, but to allow them to make changes if they aren’t comfortable in their own skin.

To help parents learn what they can do. These are the reasons for this book.

Parents, I understand. Like me, you want the best for your child.
So let me help you and let’s make as many children as we can “ice cream for dinner kids.” We can work together so that our children will have the tools and learn lessons they can carry on through life.

Together we can put a dent in the epidemic of childhood obesity in the USA.

Helping Kids Understand Obesity With Dr. Richard Saracen’s Encouragement

Dr. Richard Saracen believes every child deserves to feel good in their body, no matter their background. That’s why he wrote the Ice Cream for Dinner book, a fun, clear, and honest way for families to talk about health without shame, diets, or confusing rules.

This is not just another book. It’s a tool to improve confidence, knowledge, and family connection. Focused on learning about obesity for kids, it gives children the power to understand their own choices while promoting a healthy relationship with food and movement.

More Than Just a Book, It’s a Lifestyle Shift

Designed as a child empowerment book, the program gently teaches kids how to support their health. In just 20 days, they learn how to build good habits, and on day 21, they enjoy a treat like ice cream to show that balance matters more than restriction.

No child is left out. If your family eats steak or hot dogs, this plan works. It skips the expensive meals and focuses on real change, helping the metabolism function better. No pills. No pressure. Just a fun and clear approach to eating and activity.

What Makes This Program Special?

My book is packed with tools for long-term growth:

  • Built as a self-help book for kids’ health
  • Promotes child-friendly wellness programs and play-based movement
  • Encourages eating awareness for families, no calorie counting needed
  • Boosts body image in children with uplifting language and goals
  • Emphasizes child weight management book strategies that are simple and effective

Addressing Health Without Shame

Health education should never feel hurtful. This book about self-acceptance for kids promotes kindness and care. It’s also a guide on anti-bullying for overweight children, teaching them how to respond to criticism and be proud of their progress.

The book gently explains:

  • Signs of high blood pressure in children
  • Ways to support childhood diabetes prevention
  • How to recognize and respond to the childhood health epidemic

These topics are introduced through positive messages and child-friendly explanations. Children are guided to understand their health without fear or shame. Each lesson encourages curiosity, self-worth, and small actions that make a big difference.

Created for Parents and Kids Together

This isn’t just a child self-esteem book; it’s designed for parent-child bonding over health. Parents and children read, talk, and participate in the program side by side. That way, health doesn’t feel like a punishment; it becomes part of the family’s everyday rhythm.

Through fun food education for kids, the book uses humor, simple language, and playful activities. Kids learn how to make smart choices and enjoy food without guilt. It turns daily meals into learning moments, helping families grow closer while building lifelong healthy habits.

Empowering Educators and Coaches to Join the Mission

Health doesn’t start and stop at home. Teachers, coaches, and mentors also shape how kids view their bodies and food choices. Ice Cream for Dinner can be used in classrooms, sports practices, or after-school settings as a gentle guide to promote wellness. It helps adults start healthy conversations without judgment, building genuine trust, encouraging self-worth, and creating consistent messages across environments.

A Resource for Every Kind of Family

This isn’t just a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’re a single parent, grandparent, or caregiver, this book makes it easy to include every household member in better habits. You don’t need special meals or expensive equipment. The focus stays on shared experiences, small wins, and building a better relationship with food together. Ice Cream for Dinner truly meets families where they are and helps them grow from there.

A Healthy Mindset That Lasts

At its core, the book builds a healthy mindset book for children. Instead of telling kids what they can’t eat, it encourages better choices through understanding. It shifts the focus from food rules to self-respect, energy, and feeling good from the inside out.

My approach is clear: every child can succeed, and every family can support that success. The program makes health feel possible, one choice, one meal, one moment at a time. By focusing on empowerment instead of restriction, I help children build confidence that lasts far beyond the dinner table.
